The Conversation

The world's leading free, fact-based news source written by academics and edited by journalists.

The Conversation is the world’s leading independent publisher of research-based news and analysis. The Conversation was created to address the problem of misinformation and disinformation, long before the issue was on most people’s radar. It does this by pairing professional editors with academics to write informed articles that are easy to understand.

 

The Conversation is a unique collaboration between academics and journalists that is the world’s leading publisher of research-based news and analysis.

Everything you read at The Conversation is created by academics and journalists working together, supported by a team of digital technology experts. Our professional editors turn knowledge and insights from academics into easy-to-read articles, and make them accessible to readers like you.

All our work is free to read and free to republish. We do this as a not-for-profit company guided by a clear purpose: to provide access to quality explanatory journalism essential for healthy democracy.

Our team is led by an Editor, Misha Ketchell, and CEO, Lisa Watts. Our funding comes from partners from the university and research sector, some philanthropic organisations and more than 20,000 individual donors.

The Conversation now operates as a global network of sister sites with dedicated teams working in Indonesia, Spain, the UK, US, France, Africa, and Canada. Through our global network we reach more than 60 million readers each month.
