The Muslim Vote: Democratic threat or Islamophobic myth? | On the Ground

The Whole Picture | UK launch


In a world full of misinformation, our commitment to reporting the whole picture has never been stronger. In 1986, we created the advert Points of view, which demonstrated how the story changes when you don't have access to the whole picture. Since then, a lot has changed. We have AI-generated ‘news articles’, algorithmic feeds rife with misinformation, and billionaires controlling the news agenda. Through all of that, one thing has stayed the same: the Guardian's unwavering mission to provide journalism that’s independent, global and open to all. With our readers’ support, we can continue giving you all the facts. So you can fully understand what’s going on.
