About The Next News

What we cover

The Next News reports on the technology and science that will shape the next few years, and explains what it means.

We cover artificial intelligence, science, space, startups and tech policy. Our stories start from primary sources: peer-reviewed papers and preprints, space agency and government releases, regulator decisions, company filings and announcements.

We explain the findings and their limits, name and link every source, and an editor checks each story before it is published.

How we work

Our stories start from primary sources, and every one names and links them. Before publication, every story is checked against those sources in a separate fact-check. Our editorial standards explain how we work, including our use of AI tools, and our corrections policy explains how we fix mistakes.

Bylines and desks

Stories carry the name of the person who wrote them or of the The Next News desk that produced them. A desk byline means our team produced the story for that section, in the way our editorial standards describe.

Ownership and funding

The Next News is funded by advertising and sponsorship. Paid content is always labelled, and advertisers have no say over our editorial content. How advertising works.
