Our Values

The internet has created opportunities on a vast and growing scale; unlocking potential, revolutionizing access to information and transforming society.

We believe that defence news media can play a crucial role in times of conflicts and international geopolitical crises and that enabling the media to become more open and effective it is possible to improve the environment for the global social-political stability.

The American sociologist Dorothy Nelkin argued that the majority of people “the reality is what they read in the press”. Indeed, once individual leave schools the media is the main channel for remaining informed about advances in society.

The exposure of individuals to large scale disinformation, including misleading or outright fake news is a threat to democratic political and policy-making processes, and may even put the protection of citizens’ health, and security.

International Insider is fully committed to enhancing the European Commission’s Action Plan to step up efforts to counter disinformation in Europe and beyond.

We strive to be objective to the opinions swirling around the world. We are committed to creating a meaningful impact while contributing a positive legacy for generations to come.
