CRÍTIC

CRÍTIC is an independent media project based in Barcelona, Spain, launched in 2016. Born out of a desire to provide Catalan readers with journalism that goes beyond headlines, it focuses on investigative stories, social justice, cultural debates, and political accountability. Rather than following daily news cycles, CRÍTIC emphasises in-depth investigations, narrative reporting, and multimedia projects that explore the causes and implications of pressing issues. Its work often shines a light on underreported topics, giving a platform to communities and voices that might otherwise go unheard. The outlet is reader-supported and grant-funded, deliberately avoiding advertising and corporate sponsorship to maintain full editorial autonomy. This approach allows the team to focus on journalism that is thorough, independent, and socially conscious. With a growing presence in Catalunya, CRÍTIC has become known for thoughtful, impactful reporting that informs citizens, sparks debate, and strengthens transparency in public life. Its journalism prioritises depth over speed, analysis over noise, and insight over sensationalism.
