Docked News started with a simple idea: news should inform, not manipulate. In an era of clickbait headlines, partisan spin, and corporate media consolidation, we set out to build something different — a small, independent newsroom that puts readers first.

Who We Are

We're an independent news operation. No corporate parent company. No billionaire owner. No investors demanding we chase engagement metrics over truth. Just a small team committed to covering the stories that matter — clearly, honestly, and without an agenda.

We cover eight beats: politics, technology, business, world affairs, science, health, entertainment, and sports. Our goal is to give you the essential facts and context you need, without wasting your time.

How We Work

Our newsroom combines technology with traditional journalism values. We use modern tools to monitor breaking news around the clock and to help our editorial team produce well-structured, thoroughly sourced articles at the speed today's news cycle demands.

Every article we publish goes through a rigorous editorial process rooted in the same principles taught in journalism schools: inverted pyramid structure, multiple source verification, neutral tone, and clear attribution. We don't publish rumors. We don't editorialize in our news coverage. And we always credit the reporters who broke the story.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe trust is built through transparency. Here's what we want you to know:

  • We hold our editorial team to the highest standards of accuracy and fairness.
  • Every article links back to its original source. We support the journalism ecosystem, not undermine it.
  • We never fabricate quotes, invent sources, or present speculation as fact.
  • When we get something wrong, we publish corrections — not silent edits.
  • Our advertising is clearly separated from our editorial coverage. Period.

Why "Docked"?

A ship in dock is being prepared for its next voyage. That's how we think about news — each story is assembled carefully before it reaches you. We do the work of gathering, verifying, and structuring the information so that when it arrives, it's ready.

Where We're Headed

We're just getting started. Right now, we're a lean operation proving that independent journalism can thrive with the right tools and the right values. As we grow, we plan to bring on freelance writers, investigative reporters, and subject-matter experts to deepen our coverage.

Our vision is a newsroom where technology handles the logistics so journalists can focus on what matters: digging into stories, holding power accountable, and serving readers.
