About ASTER
ASTER publishes The Aster Times: an international newsroom organized around desks rather than personalities.
What ASTER is
The Aster Times is a multi-edition publication. Editions are markets, not languages: the International, United States, United Kingdom, Italy and Spain editions each curate the same canonical taxonomy for their readers.
Coverage is organized across four independent dimensions — section, subcategory, topic or entity, and format — so a story is filed where it belongs rather than where it is convenient.
How we publish
Accuracy comes before speed. ASTER would rather publish second than publish wrong.
Bylines identify editorial desks. Desks are organizations with defined beats and editorial responsibility. ASTER does not invent journalists, quotes, or sources.
