About
Journalistic excellence
The International is a new publication that raises awareness about important social issues while maintaining high journalistic standards. We are an independent company. The International abides by the following principles:
- Analyze the root causes of issues and their possible solutions impartially.
- Report on the interests of all parties in a dispute without demonizing or victimizing anyone.
- Help readers to develop a better understanding of cultural differences and various perspectives on issues.
- Report on potential issues before they occur in order to stimulate preventive action.
- Help readers to respond to events with ample knowledge and critical thinking.
The International avoids the use of labels such as "left-wing," "right-wing" or "extremist" because they greatly increase disparities between people over time. Instead, we explain the reasons behind people’s ideas and impartially analyze the possible solutions to improve human condition.
The International is also committed to the principles of accuracy, fairness, and integrity in all reporting.
International development
Our reporting focusses on issues central to international development. Each section of The International impartially reports on the possible solutions to some of the world’s most important issues:
- Politics: Resolving conflict.
- Commerce: Eradicating poverty.
- Environment: Ensuring sustainability.
- Health: Preventing illness.
- Culture: Understanding difference.
- Rights: Reducing inequality.
We also follow the progress of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Social enterprise
The International uses all of its revenues for the benefit of the community. Any surplus made cannot be distributed to owners or investors.
Once we start having surpluses, they will be used for the following:
- Increasing salaries and benefits.
- Printing the journal on recycled paper.
- Reducing prices for people with lower income.
