About
The Trade Wind is an independent US news outlet dedicated to keeping readers informed, with fast, factual coverage of the stories that shape life across America and beyond.
Named after the steady winds that have carried news and trade across the world for centuries, The Trade Wind was founded on a simple idea: reliable news should reach everyone, every day. We deliver breaking news, politics, business, sports, climate and lifestyle coverage from across the United States, alongside the international stories that matter to our readers.
From Washington to state capitals and communities across the country, our coverage spans the United States. We report on national news and public safety, politics and elections, the economy and markets, climate and the environment, sports, crime and justice, and the culture and everyday life that shape America. We are a digital-first newsroom, monitoring developments around the clock and publishing updates throughout the day, so our readers never miss what matters.
Mission and Values
Our mission is simple: to keep our readers informed, connected, and ahead of the news, with coverage that is fast, factual, and free to access. We believe in accuracy over speed when the two conflict, in transparency when we get something wrong, and in journalism that serves readers first. As an independent US news outlet, we answer to our readers before anyone else. You can read more about our standards on our Editorial Policy page.
