Spherry was founded by a dedicated group of journalists and technologists united by a single passion: to bring people the unvarnished truth. In a world where independent journalism faces unprecedented threats, we stand as a beacon for free, fearless reporting.
Our Origins and Vision
Passionate Founders: Our founders come from diverse backgrounds in journalism and technology. Their deep commitment to uncovering and sharing the truth drives every story we tell.
Anonymity for Safety: With strong ties to both public and private institutions, our founders have chosen to remain anonymous. This decision is rooted in a commitment to safety, given the increasing hostility towards independent journalism and those who speak truth to power.
A Response to Global Challenges: Spherry was established in direct response to growing threats against journalists both in the US and abroad. We believe that the preservation of independent journalism is critical in safeguarding the public’s right to know.
Our Commitment to Free and Unbiased News
Universal Access: We believe that everyone deserves equal access to reliable news. There are no paywalls, subscriptions, or sign-up requirements—just free, open access to all of our content.
Advertising with Integrity: While we do use ads to cover our operational expenses, they are managed at arm’s length. This ensures that there are no conflicts of interest and that advertisers have no influence over what we report or how we report it.
Efficient, Time-Saving Reporting
We recognize that everyone’s time is valuable. Our writing approach is designed to deliver the most critical information as quickly and concisely as possible. We distill complex topics into clear, actionable insights so you can stay informed without wading through unnecessary details. Every article is crafted with your busy schedule in mind—ensuring that you get the news you need, right when you need it.
Copyright and Public Domain
We believe that access to accurate news should be unfettered and available to everyone. In line with this commitment, all original content produced by Spherry is released into the public domain. This means you are free to use, share, and repurpose our work without seeking permission or incurring any fees.
Please note that this open license applies exclusively to Spherry’s original content. Any third-party content featured within our articles remains under the copyright of its respective owners and should be used in accordance with their policies.
Minimal Visuals, Maximum Focus
We intentionally use few images—often none at all—in our stories. This may be uncommon in today’s media landscape, but it is a deliberate choice that aligns with our mission. By limiting visual content, we reduce expenses related to travel and licensing third-party images, allowing us to allocate more resources toward independent journalism. This approach not only helps keep our service free but also supports our commitment to releasing original content into the public domain for the public good.
Why Spherry?
Spherry is more than a news outlet—it’s a movement for truth in an era marked by misinformation and censorship. We are committed to maintaining journalistic integrity through rigorous fact-checking, transparency, and ethical reporting. Our mission is to empower our readers with comprehensive, unbiased information, ensuring that the truth remains accessible to all.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can navigate the complexities of today’s news landscape and keep the spirit of independent journalism alive.
