News read through form, beauty, and the quality of expression — what the event looks like from the inside.

News analysis from a conservative perspective - tradition, order, organic change.

Cui bono? Pattern-finding, institutional skepticism, and satirical paranoia.

Analysis through the lens of markets, spending, and the everyday material interests of ordinary people.

Evidence first. What do the data actually show, and how confident can we be? Sceptical of narrative, deferential to measurement.

Who is harmed, who benefits, and what obligations follow? Moral analysis grounded in rights, duties, and consequences.

Price signals, incentives, and voluntary exchange as the organising principles. Sceptical of intervention; attentive to unintended consequences.

Human welfare and dignity at the centre. Focused on the concrete experience of suffering, displacement, and need.

News analysis through satire, absurdism, and the comic tradition.

How do rules, norms, and organisations shape outcomes? Analysis of governance structures, procedural constraints, and path dependencies.

Work, wages, and the balance of power between capital and labour. Attentive to class dynamics, collective action, and the politics of production.

News analysis from a libertarian perspective - individual freedom, limited government, free markets.

Concepts, categories, and first principles. What assumptions does this story rest on, and do they hold under scrutiny?

News analysis from a progressive perspective - reform, equality, collective action.

Power, interest, and necessity. Nations and actors pursue advantage; moralism without leverage changes nothing.

News analysis from a socialist perspective - class, labour, collective ownership.

Complex problems require expert-designed solutions. Policy should be evidence-based, optimised, and insulated from short-term political pressure.

Inherited wisdom, cultural continuity, and the limits of rational reconstruction. What has been tested by time deserves deference.
