Founded in 2017, Outriders is a non-profit newsroom covering global issues with an impact on the life of local citizens. The newsroom seeks answers to problems, fears, and needs.

It comprises a group of journalists reporting and explaining phenomena and events worldwide. There is less and less room in newsrooms for experienced reporters and foreign correspondents because their work is too expensive. Airtime devoted to global affairs is declining. At Outriders they cover the world because they are finding it harder and harder to understand it.

The newsroom experiments with new narrative formats; for example, it publishes reportage with a computer game and a storyline.

Outriders is a non-partisan organisation that aims to publish unbiased, accurate, and reliable information, working alongside journalists reporting from the ground.

Outriders publishes a magazine and a podcast, organises a festival, and produces a range of innovative products and materials. It also runs a club that brings together people who want to understand the changes happening in the world.

In 2017, Outriders received the Grand Press Digital Award for its innovative approach to journalism using new technologies.
