As you might have realised this site is rather incomplete and not fully functional it is only a rough prototype of what we want it to be. That is why we are running a crowdfunding. If you want to find out more about The Charta and our plans for the future please check out our Kickstarter.

 

 

The Charta reports on important issues and events. It isn’t exactly a news site, due to the very fact that we report on such things later than most media outlets.

 

We have a two weeks’ liveline before publishing a story: we estimate this gives us enough time to research and analyse most aspects of an issue while still publishing a timely and relevant article.

 

By focusing on quality over quantity, we want to produce accurate, researched and polished reporting. We’re not trying to publish a thousand stories by midnight.

 

News today is distracted. It covers events according to the hits they might get rather than to their importance. We have timelines for long running events to ensure that we deliver consistent and relevant reporting and don't forget about them.

 

We don’t want to replace the daily news, we want to complement it: we are the alternative. We want to address the bigger picture by focusing on events that will resonate on the mid to long term. We want to inform, not notify.
