Outlet track record
The Conversation
U.S. center-left (academic)
The Conversation is a nonprofit news outlet that publishes articles written by academics and researchers, edited by professional journalists for a general audience. It has no corporate owner and relies on university funding, foundation grants, and donations rather than advertising. Its academic contributor base tends to produce coverage that leans center-left on social and science policy, though its stance toward any single administration is largely issue-driven rather than partisan.
