About Frisian News

Independent, statistics-led reporting on Europe, Britain and North America.

About Us

Frisian News is an English-language publication that reports the numbers behind the news: migration, crime, free speech, energy and public money across Europe, Britain and North America. We start from a figure, name the institution that published it, and set it against what officials say. Every figure links to its source.

The publication is edited from Fryslân, the Netherlands, and is independent. It takes no money from governments, parties or advocacy groups. Our editorial line is sceptical of mass migration, speech policing, diversity bureaucracies and the costs of net zero. We criticise policies and institutions, never people for their origin or faith.

Older articles on this site, published before September 2026, cover Fryslân in English, Dutch and Frysk. They remain online as an archive.

Editorial Policy

Frisian News covers agriculture, culture, politics, world affairs, economy, society, the environment, and opinion from an independent perspective. We do not represent any political party, government body, or commercial interest.

AI assistance disclosure. Articles on Frisian News are drafted with the assistance of AI language models (Claude by Anthropic) from source documents we fetch and store. Every number in an article is checked by a second automated pass against those documents, and any figure that cannot be found in them is removed before publication. Human editors review and approve published content and correct errors promptly when they are reported.

Sources. Where possible, articles link to primary sources. We do not publish rumour or unverified claims as fact. Opinion pieces are clearly labelled as such.

Corrections. If you spot an error, contact us at the address below. Significant corrections are noted on the relevant article.

Write for Us

We welcome tips and pitches built on documents: an official statistic, a set of accounts, a court ruling, a departmental release. If you have found a number that an institution would rather not discuss, we would like to hear from you.

Send a short pitch (two or three sentences) and a link to the primary source through the contact route below.
