About The Index.

Clear-eyed. Uncompromising. The Index investigates how technology reshapes power and society.

Founded in 2025, The Index speaks truth to power in a digital age. Through tenacious reporting, provocative commentary, and spirited debate about technology and society, The Index empowers readers to fight for justice and equality in an era of unprecedented corporate control.

By providing a deeper understanding of the world as it is—and as it could be—we drive bold ideas into the conversation and ignite debates far beyond our pages. We expose how power really works in the age of big tech, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic control.

We believe in intellectual freedom. We value facts and transparency. We argue that dissent is patriotic and we hold the powerful to account, no matter their political persuasion. We raise up the promise of a more democratic tomorrow while we agitate for meaningful change today. Above all, we aspire to galvanize a more informed public—one equipped with a more profound understanding of how technology and power shape our world.

The Index is self funded and independent.
