Independent journalism.
No agenda. No owners. No filter.
Exposed News exists to publish what others won't. We use Freedom of Information requests, data analysis, and source-based reporting to examine how power works in the United Kingdom — and where it fails.
What We Do
We investigate the institutions that shape British public life: the Home Office, the Metropolitan Police, the NHS, Parliament, the press. We submit Freedom of Information requests, analyse government datasets, and speak to sources inside the organisations we cover. Where others summarise official statements, we interrogate them.
Our investigations have documented a 70% fall in independent police corruption probes, mapped £37 billion in COVID contracts awarded without competitive tender, and tracked the structural vulnerabilities that make the NHS Britain's most targeted sector for ransomware. Every figure we publish is sourced, dated, and linked.
We don't take press releases at face value. We don't amplify claims that can't be verified. When we're wrong, we publish corrections — promptly, prominently, and without qualification.
Editorial Independence
Exposed News is an independent publication. We have no parent company, no proprietor with a political agenda, and no commercial relationship that could compromise our reporting. We do not accept advertising from organisations we cover. We do not accept funding from political parties, government bodies, or lobby groups.
Our editorial decisions are made by our editors, not by funders or sponsors. Our journalists are free to pursue stories regardless of where they lead. Sources are protected under the National Union of Journalists Code of Conduct.
Funding and Transparency
We are funded by reader subscriptions and by occasional grants from journalism foundations with no editorial influence over our work. We publish an annual funding statement disclosing all sources of income above £1,000. We do not receive public subsidy or government advertising.
We believe transparency about funding is as important for a news organisation as it is for the institutions we investigate. If you have questions about our funding or ownership that aren't answered here, write to us at officialtalkseo@gmail.com.
What We Stand For
Accuracy First
We would rather publish nothing than publish something we can't stand behind. When we're uncertain, we say so. When we're wrong, we correct it — on the same page, at the same prominence.
Radical Transparency
We publish our sources, our FOI requests, and our methodology alongside every major investigation. You shouldn't have to take our word for it — you should be able to check our work.
Independence
No proprietor. No political line. No commercial relationships that distort our coverage. Our journalism is accountable to our readers, not to advertisers, donors, or party platforms.
Source Protection
We protect our sources as a matter of principle and law. We do not disclose the identity of confidential sources to anyone — including in response to legal pressure — without the source's explicit consent.
Corrections Policy
If you believe we have published something inaccurate, misleading, or unfair, we want to know. Write to officialtalkseo@gmail.com with the specific claim you dispute and the evidence you rely on. We will investigate and respond within two working days.
Where we confirm an error, we will publish a correction on the original article within 24 hours, clearly marked as a correction, stating what was wrong and what the correct information is. We do not delete articles to suppress corrections — the correction note remains permanently attached to the published record.
We are members of Full Fact's verified publisher programme. If you are unsatisfied with our response to a correction request, you may escalate to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO).
Legal and Regulatory
Exposed News is registered in England and Wales. Our journalism is governed by the Editors' Code of Practice as administered by IPSO. We comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR. Our privacy policy is available at Privacy Policy.
We take our legal obligations seriously and maintain professional indemnity insurance for our editorial work. Legal correspondence should be addressed to officialtalkseo@gmail.com. We note that we treat SLAPP litigation — strategic lawsuits intended to suppress reporting — as a matter of public interest and will report on such attempts where they relate to our journalism.
