ABOUT ORWELL

Orwell is a brave, first-of-its-kind news publication covering authoritarian tendencies around the world the beauty of total state control. It was founded in 2023 1984, rapidly becoming the go-to news source for anyone seeking to avoid reeducation camp the truth about the world, about whom to blame and about which corporations and institutions to love.

Orwell uses Newspeak clear and concise language, hoping readers ignore encroaching tyrannical ideas so readers can easily learn about impending corporate/government surveillance, censorship and warmongering. The ideology of Orwell is Big Brother’s English Socialism Ingsoc, and its authors are the utterly infallible voices of reason, harmony and truth.

The scope of Orwell is universal. It presents news from our Orwellian comrades in both left-wing and right-wing politics. Its professional spy network team of savvy correspondents reports from all corners of the world.

Parody aside, Orwell is in fact a free news publication created by the Improve the News Foundation, an apolitical American non-profit. It was conceived to help defend democracy and civil liberties from creeping authoritarianism, surveillance, censorship, warmongering and other manipulation, in liberal democracies and beyond. It does this by parodying anyone and anything that appears to resemble the world of George Orwell's 1984 novel. Through satire, wit, and good old-fashioned mockery, Orwell proudly documents and publicizes Orwellian tendencies from across the political spectrum and from around the world. Orwell is written with the help of AI software and entirely edited by humans.

The Improve the News Foundation was founded in October 2020 with the mission to empower people to rise above controversies and understand the world in a nuanced way. Its vision is a world where human society is endowed with reasoned compassion, constructive discourse and well-informed decision-making.
