Hi Bluesky!
We’re Unbias the News, a newsroom proudly publishing journalists who face structural barriers in the field. In collaboration with amazing local journalists worldwide we publish underreported stories straight from the source.

To get to know us, look back on some of our best work:
What happens after the death, torture, or harassment of a family member at the hands of border security forces? How can lives continue with dignity and hope?

💡 Children´s outlook on the future and their experiences are crucial in the conversation on borders and security.

This is a great one from @unbiasthenews.bsky.social As a white person from the American South who now lives in Germany, I've been very surprised by how much pushback (even in what people would call progressive circles) there is to talking about racism here.

If you point out racism in Germany, prepare for retaliation: just ask our editor - Unbias The News
A pattern of retaliation and reversal of victim and perpetrator roles is degrading trust in the German legal system. The latest example strikes close to home, against our editor Wafaa Albadry.

The world is coming to the Amazon — but who gets to define what “ready” looks like?

As COP30 lands in Belém, locals question whether the city must polish itself for the gringo’s gaze, or reclaim the right to be seen on its own terms.
