Today, leaders in government, communities and the news media—in Europe and the world over—are turning to their area or national editions of Freedom for coverage of significant issues, whether local or international in scope.

A focus for hard-hitting investigative journalism, Freedom has taken on stories across the continent that other media have been reluctant or unable to investigate or publish. In the process, Freedom‘s readership has grown larger and significantly more aware of areas in need of social reform.

Freedom, wherever it is published, is recognised as a dependable source of information about a wide range of timely issues—from corruption by government officials, to the spread of drugs in society and those who profit; from the problems of illiteracy and violent crime, to the need to protect privacy and freedom of speech—even on the Internet. The publication has broken important stories—the forced drugging of children, government chemical and biological warfare, human experimentation and the human rights violations rife within the psychiatric profession.

That is why leaders in society look upon Freedom as a valuable source of truth in a sea of conflicting data and dubious answers. It provides a means for them to separate fact from fiction; it is where they turn to gain a deeper, broader perspective of the issues that they may not obtain through regular media channels. These leaders have come to rely on Freedom‘s forthright view to challenge the biases and come to a clear and open assessment of both problems and solutions.
