About Measured Take

Measured Take is a digital news publication delivering sharp, data-driven coverage across politics, business, technology, sports, health, science, culture, finance, and cybersecurity.

We cover stories from around the world, and we are independent: no party, government or company owns or directs our coverage.

What We Do

We take the news people are talking about, check the facts against named sources, add context, and write it up in our own words with a neutral editorial voice. Sources are listed on every article so you can check them yourself.

Our Content Types

  • News — The day's stories with context, analysis and sources.
  • Fact Checks — Claims by politicians, officials and public figures, rated against the evidence.
  • Sport — Match reports and analysis across the Premier League, Champions League, La Liga and more, with scores and fixtures.
  • Opinion — Argued positions built on sourced facts, with the strongest case against.
  • Dossiers — Profiles of the people and organisations in our reporting.

How We Work

AI helps us research stories, gather sources and write first drafts. Automated checks on sourcing and on our editorial rules decide whether a piece can be published. Our editor reads and corrects our work, and daily checks re-verify what we have published. When we get something wrong, we correct it.

Our Team

Measured Take's founder and editor is Peter Olaleru, a cybersecurity professional who brings technical rigor and a commitment to accuracy to every aspect of the publication. Public articles carry his byline.

Our Standards

We are evidence-first and independent. When facts are uncertain we stay careful; when evidence is solid we state findings plainly — without false balance. Every material claim is sourced. When we fact-check, verdicts are direct and unambiguous. Read our full Editorial Policy for how we source, verify, and publish.

How We Are Funded

Measured Take may carry advertising to pay for the site. Advertisers have no say in what we cover or how we cover it, and adverts are kept visibly separate from our reporting.
