About us:
At Tortoise we take the time to investigate whats really going on; to make sense of news, politics and the forces shaping our future. We dont just report on slow stories we care about what happens next. With your help, we want to understand the issues and spend time examining the ideas that will make for a better 21st century. Tortoise is built with and for our members and is driven by a collective desire to dive beneath the surface of the daily news.

Our mission is to create journalism that lasts. That means building a business model thats responsible and sustainable. It means not being owned by a proprietor with an axe to grind. It means being independent of any political party or commercial agenda.

In short, its about belonging to something rather than just paying for it. We dont take ads, and well never sell your data.
