The Crosswise Method
Don't trust our neutrality. Inspect our reasoning.
Crosswise does not pretend journalists have no judgement. We make our judgement visible, sourced and accountable.
01
What we know
The verified facts and confirmed developments.
02
Perspectives
The credible arguments that matter on each side.
03
Evidence check
Testing claims against the available evidence.
04
What we don't know
The uncertainties, caveats, and missing context.
05
Crosswise Radar
Our judgement — and what it means next.
How we select stories
We prioritise stories on the ground that will impact and shape most people's understanding.
How we select sources
Primary sources first. Then independent reporting, regional specialists, and expert analysis.
How we handle errors
We correct errors quickly and transparently. Corrections are logged on each article.
How we use AI
AI assists research and drafting but is never a source. Final decisions are human.
