About us

News, reported plainly.

Classic Reporters is a national news publication for American readers. The name signals the approach: original reporting, plainly written, with clear attribution and open corrections.

The site covers the day’s news and holds itself to the working standards that have long defined serious American journalism.

The newsroom

Small, distributed, and rooted in the newspaper tradition.

We’re a small, distributed newsroom producing daily national coverage across politics, business, technology, health, features, and culture. The editors and reporters listed on the Our Team page come out of the working newspaper tradition, and the site reflects that background.

We prefer
named sources to anonymous ones.
We prefer
verifiable claims to insider chatter.

What we owe our readers

Editorial guidelines →

Accuracy

Every factual claim should be verifiable, and errors are corrected openly with a dated note describing what changed.

Fairness

Subjects of material allegations get a meaningful chance to respond before publication.

Clarity

News is news. Analysis, opinion, and sponsored work are clearly labeled.

Independence

Advertising, sponsorships, and partnerships remain separate from the newsroom.

Story tips, corrections, and letters to the editor all reach a real editor.
