About Us

MOTH News is an independent Irish media platform born out of a growing need for honesty and clarity in an age of spin. We were founded on the belief that journalism should challenge power, not protect it — and that the best stories come from those who dare to speak the truth, not toe the line. We are not affiliated with political parties or corporate backers, and that independence is at the core of everything we do.

Our team is made up of journalists, creatives, and community members who are passionate about telling stories that matter. We are driven by a shared commitment to critical thinking, transparency, and trust. Through investigative reporting, thought-provoking interviews, and open submissions, we’re creating a space where real conversations can thrive and real change can begin.

Why we Exist

Mainstream media has become increasingly homogenised — echoing the same talking points, repeating the same headlines, and leaving little room for nuance. MOTH News was created as an antidote to that sameness. We exist to ask better questions, give space to voices that are ignored, and shine light into the corners most outlets avoid. We believe that people deserve more than headlines; they deserve depth, context, and truth.

Our mission is to restore faith in media by centering facts over ideology, inquiry over outrage, and people over profits. We aim to be a platform for those who feel unheard and underrepresented, offering stories that dig deeper and perspectives that widen the lens. At a time when trust in media is at an all-time low, we’re committed to earning it back, one story at a time.

Become a Sponsor

When you sponsor MOTH News, you're not just funding a media platform — you're investing in a movement for truth and transparency. Your support helps us remain fiercely independent and entirely accountable to our audience, not advertisers. Every euro goes toward producing content that’s thoughtful, fact-checked, and fearless in its pursuit of truth.

As a sponsor, you’ll be supporting investigative journalism, grassroots storytelling, and emerging Irish voices. You’ll be helping us build tools and formats that bring important conversations to the forefront — from long-form features to podcasts and on-the-ground reports. In return, we’ll keep doing what we do best: digging deeper, asking the hard questions, and giving a platform to those who need it most.
