Supporting Independent Journalism
In the lead up to an election it’s vital to have independent journalists looking into what’s going on. None of The Ferret directors are members of a political party and The Ferret is committed to taking a non-partisan approach to everything they do. All stories are reviewed by experienced journalists before publication and are checked by lawyers.

““Democracy thrives in the light, and part of the reason it has become so sick in the west, is that the mainstream media with its wealthy proprietors now act solely as mouthpieces for the interests of an international elite. Such people are seen as beyond reproach or investigation, while, paradoxically, the activities of ordinary citizens become more and more proscribed. A fledgling, emergent democracy like Scotland needs to develop the highest standards of investigative journalism to protect and nurture itself.””
““Collectively we can’t take responsibility for governing ourselves in a just and sustainable manner if we’re unaware of the stories, the science, the values and vested interests that underpin what’s happening in the world we inhabit. The kind of in depth independent investigative journalism that The Ferret promises has never been more essential. And it’s ours to own and support together.””
