What Trust Digest publishes

Trust Digest publishes a range of regular programmes, each built around a different question that readers ask. They include, but are not limited to, the following.

Regional Digests

Regional Digests are reports on news and developments from the places Trust Digest covers, from state capitals and county seats to fast-growing commuter towns. Each report names the main cities involved, so readers can quickly find the stories closest to them.

National Digests

National Digests cover the stories that shape each country as a whole, including policy, the economy, technology, energy and security. When a national story reaches the regions Trust Digest covers, the National Digest explains what it means for people on the ground.

Trust Checks

Trust Checks examine the things readers come across online, including offers, organisations, websites and services, so that readers can tell what is genuine. Every Trust Check ends with a plain verdict and a suggested next step.

Fact Digests

Fact Digests examine claims that spread online or in the news and set them against the available evidence. Each one shows what was claimed, what the evidence says and what remains uncertain.

Profile Digest

Profile Digests bring together what is publicly on record about people, organisations and companies. Each one explains who or what the subject is, what they do and why they matter.

Review Digest

Review Digests look at products, services, companies, initiatives and programmes, among other subjects. Each one explains what the subject does well, where it falls short and who it suits.

Trusted Picks

Trusted Picks are the “Best” lists and recommendations published by Trust Digest. Every list explains the criteria behind its choices and shows when it was last updated, so readers know the advice is current.

Explainer Digests

Explainer Digests break complex subjects down into plain language, including finance, law, technology, health and public policy. Trust Digest also publishes university study guides and practical careers and workplace pieces in this programme.
