Baseline
About Baseline

Closing the gap between the news and the evidence.

The daily news flow typically shows a strong negativity bias to maximise attention. The positive narratives behind our society’s historic achievements – and its current challenges – often get lost. Baseline exists to bring them back into view.

Our approach

1 Leading sources Our evidence comes from leading international universities and organisations – every figure is referenced.
2 Key statistics only Data and scientific papers are abundant. We reduce complexity and focus on the few numbers that matter for each topic.
3 Clear and concise Each topic follows one simple format: a key message, a handful of numbers, one chart and its source.
