Journalism Without Fear or Favour
PulseWire was founded on a single belief: the public deserves honest, independent reporting. We cover what matters — from local communities to global crises — with rigour, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to the truth.
PulseWire started in 2019 as a small investigative desk with five journalists determined to cut through noise and hold power accountable. Our first major exposé — a series on municipal corruption — won regional recognition and proved that independent journalism could still make an impact.
Today, we've grown into a global newsroom with correspondents across six continents. But our DNA hasn't changed. We still operate as an independent publication funded by reader subscriptions — never by government or corporate grants with strings attached.
Our revenue model is simple: readers who believe in independent journalism support the work. This keeps our reporting beholden to no one but the truth.
Founded in New York City with a five-person investigative team.
Expanded to international coverage with bureaus in London and Nairobi.
Launched reader-supported model; hit 1 million active subscribers.
4.2M+ monthly readers across 180 countries. Still independent.
These principles guide every editorial decision we make — from which stories to pursue to how we present the facts.
Every story we publish is fact-checked, sourced, and verified before it reaches you. We never sacrifice accuracy for speed.
Our newsroom operates free from political or corporate influence. Our editors answer to readers — not advertisers.
We prioritize stories that matter to communities. Our reporting holds power accountable and gives voice to the unheard.
We publish corrections openly and communicate our editorial processes with our audience. Accountability starts with us.
A team of experienced journalists, editors, and researchers united by a shared mission to inform the public.
