Who is trying to influence you — and why?

The Propaganda Radar maps the financial interests and ownership structures behind the media, platforms, and lobbies that shape what you read, watch, and believe.
Most people across the globe act in good faith. But in a digital world overflowing with information, it is very easy to fall victim to manipulation — especially without knowing who is behind what you see.
We are not here to tell you what to think. We are here to show you who funds the voices trying to tell you what to think — so you can decide for yourself.

Our approach

We track four categories of influence actors: corporate media owners, state-funded broadcasters, lobby groups, and verified information sources. For each, we map ownership, funding, and the interests those translate into. We cover actors across the full political and ideological spectrum — billionaires on the left and right, states of every regime type, and lobby groups with opposing agendas.

A note on methodology.

Calling something "propaganda" requires editorial judgment. We document structures and funding — we do not declare what is true or false. We link to our sources, update our data regularly, and welcome corrections. If you think we've missed something or got it wrong, contact us.
