About Us
BeNews Media was founded in 2025 as an independent nonprofit news organization in Belgium. We publish news podcasts, along with in-depth conversations featuring prominent guests from Belgium and around the world. Complementing our podcasts, our columns, blogs, and articles offer rigorous, elegantly crafted analysis that clarifies complexity and illuminates the dynamics shaping contemporary society.
Politics, economics, research, culture, and global news are examined from an independent perspective to understand how these events impact us all.
Volunteers proudly run BeNews Media, and it is 100% independent and informative.
Our Mission
Our mission is to counter disinformation by providing clear, verified, and independent news. From Belgium to the world, we bring context, nuance, and diverse voices to the stories that shape our shared future. We aim to strengthen public understanding, foster critical thinking, and build trust across communities.
Our Vision
We envision a global information landscape where facts prevail over falsehoods, and where people can rely on transparent, independent journalism to navigate complex events. By bridging cultures and amplifying credible voices, we strive to build a more informed, resilient, and connected society.
