The Newsroom

The Newsroom

Sixteen correspondents in sixteen capitals, one founder, one standard: no single capital owns the whole truth.


The Bureau's correspondents are posted in their capitals and write in their own time zones, filing to a research desk that checks every fact before it reaches the page. They were hired for two things: knowing their beat cold, and being willing to argue with their own side when the facts demand it.

The Morocco desk is covered by the Editor-in-Chief himself. Everything else is filed from the ground — Riyadh, Mexico City, Cairo, Perth, Tehran, Jakarta, Tel Aviv, Beijing, Paris, Tokyo, Lagos, São Paulo, Berlin, London, Washington, and Istanbul.

Younesse Bouziani

Founder & Editor-in-Chief — Morocco desk

After years of watching the same story framed three different ways by rival capitals, Younesse had a vision: a newspaper that gives the world clarity. He founded the Bureau on that idea, writes one column a month, and covers the Morocco desk himself. He counts himself lucky that a team of brilliant minds joined him to build it.
