Our Mission
Grid’s mission is to connect with an audience that wants a deeper, clearer understanding of the world around them, regardless of their political orientation. We provide the facts and context necessary to understand how world events, persistent challenges and mega-trends are connected to one another — and require connected solutions.
Our Approach: Interconnect Journalism
The biggest stories we tell do not exist in silos, so neither do we. We are a collaborative newsroom of beat reporters, subject editors and data journalists who work together to show how the areas we cover are interconnected. To create the most complete stories, we challenge ourselves to look at them through multiple lenses, including science, economics, misinformation, the law, politics, technology, identity and global. The result is a more-complete picture.
Editorial Values
REPORTING
We believe in knowable facts, and we work to uncover them with the help of experts, data and those with lived experiences.
TRANSPARENCY
We say what we don’t know and why, including whether data is missing or in conflict.
WHAT MATTERS
Our reporters help our audience prioritize the news by helping them understand what is important, even if it is not the newest development.
EXPERTISE
We strive to find the best experts on a topic, not just the most prominent.
QUESTIONING NARRATIVES
We aren't afraid to ask questions – both the hard questions and those that seem so simple they can be the most intimidating to ask. We always question whether the dominant narrative is correct or oversimplified – or overstated.
FAIRNESS
The tradition of objectivity is flawed. It has failed to deliver on the goal of fairness, which is our goal. We acknowledge that we each carry experiences, identities and beliefs that shape how we see the world. We know that bias can seep into our work in invisible ways, and we commit to challenge ourselves to mitigate it in our work.
COLLABORATION
We work across teams and departments to create the best work for our audience.
FINDING UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS
We spot interesting angles. We test formats. Sometimes we are serious; sometimes playful.
