De Correspondent

''De Correspondent'' is a Dutch news website based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was launched on 30 September 2013 after raising more than in a crowdfunding campaign in eight days. The website distinguishes itself by rejecting the daily news cycle and focusing on in-depth and chronological coverage on a topical basis, led by individual correspondents who each focus on specific topics. Sometimes it publishes English versions of its articles.

The concept and initial success of ''De Correspondent'' has inspired other projects elsewhere. A German website ''Krautreporter'' was founded in 2014 and adopted the same concept.

An English-language news site, titled ''The Correspondent'', launched on September 30, 2019. The site raised through a crowdfunding campaign in late 2018, boosted by prominent backers including Jay Rosen and Trevor Noah. However, it endured substantial criticism after it was announced that it would not open an office in the United States, as many backers had anticipated. On 10 December 2020, ''NiemanLab'' broke the news that ''The Correspondent'' would be closing down on 31 December 2020. Provided by Wikipedia
