About Us: Veritas Press C.I.C.: Ownership, Mission, And Principles.
Ownership and Origins:
Veritas Press C.I.C. is owned and operated by Veritas Press C.I.C., a community interest company dedicated to providing high-quality journalism for the British Muslim community and beyond. More information on the company can be found here
Launched in February 2025, Veritas Press C.I.C. was born out of a clear need for unbiased, independent news and journalism. The absence of a professional, impartial platform serving both the British Muslim community and the wider public created a gap in the media landscape, a gap we set out to fill. Our founding vision was simple but ambitious: to create a platform that offers credible reporting, in-depth analysis and investigations, and diverse opinion, reflecting both local and global perspectives.
Veritas Press C.I.C. is committed not only to covering issues affecting Muslims in the UK and worldwide, but also to reporting on matters affecting people across the globe, irrespective of religion, nationality, or background. Our mission is to deliver unbiased, independent news and analysis that illuminates the realities on the ground, wherever they occur.
Our Distinctive Attributes:
1. Independence:
At Veritas Press C.I.C., independence is non-negotiable. Our editorial freedom is made possible by our financial self-reliance. Funding comes exclusively from reader donations, subscriptions, and ethically sourced advertising—we do not accept money from governments or entities that may impose editorial constraints.
This financial independence allows us to publish without fear or favour, fostering a platform where diverse perspectives can flourish. We are committed to being a forum for debate rather than a mouthpiece for any particular ideology. Professional, well-argued material will be considered for publication, even if it diverges from the editorial team’s own views.
We also understand that serious journalism requires serious investment. Our funding model ensures that editorial impartiality is never compromised, while still allowing us to maintain and grow a high-quality platform.
2. Commitment to Quality Journalism:
Veritas Press C.I.C. is run by journalists with proven professional experience. Our team has longstanding connections across the UK and internationally, with insight into key developments affecting communities both local and global.
We prioritize journalistic rigour, accuracy, and ethical reporting, treating the craft with the respect it deserves. While we leverage the expertise of experienced journalists, we are also committed to nurturing the next generation of writers, reporters, and community activists, providing them a space to develop their skills in a professional environment.
3. Grassroots and Global Focus:
Our platform exists to amplify the voices of ordinary people rather than the powerful and influential, who already have ample media exposure. We strive to report what is happening on the ground, whether in local UK communities or across the globe, even when these stories challenge prevailing narratives or reveal uncomfortable truths.
We focus on substance over name recognition. Writers are valued not for their fame, but for their knowledge, insight, and ability to communicate complex issues effectively.
4. Non-Sectarian Approach:
Veritas Press C.I.C. is committed to bridging divisions within the Muslim community. We recognize that political, rather than theological, forces often exacerbate sectarian differences. Our editorial policy is rooted in fairness and inclusivity, representing a spectrum of Islamic traditions without prejudice.
We acknowledge the reality of genuine theological and political differences among Muslims worldwide. Rather than avoiding difficult discussions, we approach them with rationality, respect, and a commitment to constructive dialogue.
5. Islamic Ethos:
Our work is guided by a strong Islamic ethos. While fostering open discussion and debate, we uphold standards of Islamic etiquette and civility. Content that overtly contravenes these principles is not accepted.
6. Supporting Veritas Press C.I.C.:
Sustaining high-quality, independent journalism requires public support. Donations from readers allow us to continue delivering reliable reporting, thoughtful analysis, and professional editorial oversight. Every contribution is dedicated to producing quality journalism and covering legitimate administrative costs.
We invite you to support Veritas Press C.I.C. generously, ensuring that independent, unbiased, and principled media, and journalism remains freely available to the Muslim community and the wider world.
