- Description: PhiloCrux is published unsigned, in one house voice, the way the great newsweeklies are.

PhiloCrux is an independent, reader-funded publication of news and ideas. We cover politics, power, the world, the economy, technology, society, philosophy and history, and in every story we ask the same two questions: what is happening, and which ideas make people disagree about it?

## Who publishes PhiloCrux

PhiloCrux is published by [Philosopheasy](https://www.philosopheasy.com/?ref=philocrux.com), the independent publisher behind the Philosopheasy channel and library. PhiloCrux is its news publication; it is reader-funded, carries no advertising and no sponsored content, and the publisher takes responsibility for every word. You can reach the editors at [contact@philosopheasy.com](mailto:contact@philosopheasy.com) or through the [contact page](https://philocrux.com/contact/). Corrections are visible and logged on the [corrections page](https://philocrux.com/corrections/).

## What we publish

- **The Briefing** every weekday: one news story and the idea behind it. Free.
- **Analysis** every Monday: the week's biggest story, examined from both sides with the Crux Method.
- **Leaders** and **The Crux**, our flagship essay, every Wednesday.
- **Explainers**, always free, and named **Columns** on Thursdays.
- **Masterclasses**: structured courses on the great thinkers, read in order.
- A weekly **audio deep dive** of about 100 minutes for Premium members.
- **The Week**, our free Saturday newsletter, and **Books & Ideas** on Sundays.

## No bylines, by design

Every piece is credited to a desk: "By the Politics desk", "By the World desk". Our Leaders say "PhiloCrux". Named columns carry the name of a thinker, such as Machiavelli on power, Thucydides on war or Ibn Khaldun on the rise and fall of nations, as a pen name. We do this for the reason the great newsweeklies always have: the argument should stand on its evidence, not on who made it, and the publication, not an individual, takes responsibility for every word.

## Desks and columns

Each section has a desk. Columns rotate on Thursdays and follow one beat each: power and statecraft, war and alliances, history, markets and the state, technology and media, and the bonds that hold societies together.

## How the newsroom works

Our journalism is produced with AI-assisted research and drafting under the publisher's editorial rules, and every piece must pass fact-checking and editorial checks against the sources it cites before it appears. A note on each article says so, and the [standards page](https://philocrux.com/standards/) explains the whole process.

## What we hold ourselves to

Every piece must meet the standards in [The Crux Method and our standards](https://philocrux.com/standards/): sourcing you can check, the strongest version of each side, a clear line between analysis and opinion, and corrections that are visible. Our library of Answers, Glossary entries, Comparisons and Sources is free to read without an account.

## Who pays for this

Readers. Free reading brings people in and paid membership funds the journalism, so we answer to our readers and not to advertisers. You can [try a membership free for 7 days](https://philocrux.com/membership/).
