About us

We publish weekly reporting that's worth your attention.

News Portal Weekly is an independent publication built around two simple ideas — careful weekly reporting and an open library of downloadable PDFs. No infinite feed, no chasing the algorithm, just stories and source material we think you'll actually use.

What we believe

Our editorial values

Independent reporting

No paywalls on facts. We publish weekly reports that prioritize accuracy and context over speed.

Long-form, slow reading

A reading-first publication that respects your time with calmer pacing and substantive analysis.

Open knowledge

Our PDF library puts research, briefings, and primary sources one click away — for everyone.

Global perspective

Stories that connect local context to the wider world without losing nuance along the way.

Our mission

To make rigorous weekly reporting and primary-source PDFs accessible to anyone who's curious. We think a calmer, more deliberate publication can do more for readers than ten newsletters fighting for the same minute of attention.
