Our Mission

Most news doesn't lie outright. It just shows you one angle of the light. Refract breaks complex stories into their real components — so young people can see the full spectrum of what's actually happening.

We cover US politics, Peruvian affairs, and LGBTQ+ rights with the same rigour major outlets reserve for financial markets: every claim sourced, every number checked, every piece of context included.

Radical Clarity — no jargon, no filler.
Verified Always — nothing published without a source.
Stories That Get Ignored — LGBTQ+ rights, Latin American politics, our front page.
Built for the Feed — journalism for how young people actually consume news.

Editorial Standards

Every claim must have at least one primary source — an official document, peer-reviewed study, government record, or direct named quote. Secondary sources corroborate only; never the sole basis for a claim.

Fact-check verdicts: Confirmed — accurate as stated. Misleading — true but missing context that changes the meaning. False — factually incorrect. Full methodology and sources published with every fact-check.

Refract accepts no advertising, no sponsored content, and is not influenced by any organisation, government, political party, or donor. Editorially independent.
