We are published by , an independent, London based publisher founded by investigative journalist and war correspondent .

For more than eighteen years, Xhymshiti has reported from conflict zones and political fault lines, from the Arab uprisings to the war in Ukraine, examining how power operates when scrutiny is weak and consequences are grave.

That experience matters here because the principles are the same. Verify before publishing. Corroborate before accusing. Protect sources. Follow documents. Understand how influence works. In an age of noise, discipline is a public service.

The Frontline Media Group publishes several specialist titles. examines foreign policy and national security. The Profiler produces intelligence grade dossiers on individuals and networks of material public interest. VX Pictures commissions and distributes visual journalism worldwide, with an archive exceeding one million images. Across these platforms we operate a reader sustained model. We are funded in practice by those who value independent reporting and choose to support it.

The Record brings that editorial framework to Britain.

We will report the news clearly and without melodrama. We will investigate where public money goes and how decisions are made. We will explain how legislation drafted in Westminster alters the prospects of a small business in Manchester, a farming family in Kent or a household in Glasgow. We will tell human stories through photography, film, audio and long form writing, because statistics alone rarely persuade the heart.

We will cover enterprise and the economy with rigour and transparency. Where commercial features appear, they will be clearly labelled and held to reporting standards. We will report on housing, health, education and public life with attention to those most affected. We will follow culture and sport not as diversion, but as part of the fabric of national life.

There will also be room for argument. A country shaped by reformers, dissenters and stubborn democrats should not fear debate.

We do not pretend to be the first to report Britain. We do intend to be thorough. Independence, however, is not maintained by sentiment. It is maintained by structure. Our structure is simple. No corporate owner. No political patron. No hidden subsidy. If this publication is to remain fully and wholly independent, it must be sustained by readers.

A paid subscription is four pounds a month. In practical terms, it is the price of a coffee and a pastry. In editorial terms, it is the difference between reporting that asks permission and reporting that does not.

If you believe Britain deserves journalism that understands both the sweep of history and the detail of everyday life. If you think power should be explained, not merely quoted. If you value photographs that show what policy feels like. Then we invite you to read, to question, to challenge and, if you are able, to subscribe.

Our country has seen much.

It deserves witnesses who look back.
