About Us
Hi there. We're glad you're here.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the endless scroll of headlines, hot takes, and online arguments, you're in the right place.
We started Tangent Weekly because we felt it too. We're journalists who grew tired of the noise and believe there has to be a better way to do the news — a way that respects your time, your intelligence, and your need for the straight story.
What is Tangent Weekly?
Think of us as an independent workshop, not a giant factory. We're a small team dedicated to one simple idea: context matters. We focus on the stories that shape American life, and we take the time to explain not just what happened, but why it's important.
We don't have a corporate headquarters or a billionaire owner. That means we're accountable to only one group: you.
Our Promise to You
Honest Reporting, No Hidden Agenda
We follow the facts, wherever they lead. Our only goal is to give you a clear picture of what's happening, so you can make up your own mind.
Journalism, Not Clickbait
You won't find outrage-for-profit here. We write stories that are important, not just stories that are loud.
A Commitment to Getting It Right
We're human. When we make a mistake, we'll own it, fix it, and be transparent about it. That's a promise.
We believe that a well-informed public is the most powerful force for good. Thank you for being part of that. Thank you for taking the time to read our work.
We're genuinely glad you found us.
Get to Know Us Better
This is our story. The people who write it every day are the heart of what we do — you can meet our team here.
We're guided by a clear set of principles, which you can find in our Editorial Policy.
But this is a two-way street. Your feedback, ideas, and questions make us better. Please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're listening.
