BIG team growing in number and geographic diversity

The BIG Media team keeps getting bigger, and the content keeps getting better.

No sensationalism. No expert testimony. No picking sides.

Just a bunch of intelligent, high-integrity people (and me) doing great research on the most important issues, and presenting their findings with logical interpretation and full transparency.

This is the way news journalism is supposed to be done.
