## About

Declassified UK goes to work on the parts of British power that prefer the dark, the arms deals, the spy agencies, the wars fought at a distance. It runs on foundation grants and reader money while refusing state funding, so a tiny newsroom spends its days auditing the largest institutions in the country. The beat is narrow and relentless: UK foreign, military and intelligence policy, reported from the outside in.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Independent outlet co-founded by Mark Curtis and Matt Kennard; not part of a larger media group
- **Funding:** Charitable trusts and foundations plus reader donations and video revenue; refuses government funding
- **Focus areas:** British foreign, military and intelligence policy; the arms trade, secrecy, the security services and the UK's role abroad


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
