Openly is the Foundation’s news platform for impartial journalism on LGBTQ+ issues. Our video journalism is primarily published on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, with deeper written analysis available via our Substack newsletter.
Openly stories cover some of the most crucial LGBTQ+ issues of our time, reported by journalists and contributors around the world.
Context was a news brand powered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation. It provided news and analysis that contextualised how critical issues and events affect ordinary people, society and the environment. Context ceased publishing in February 2026, but an archive of our award-winning reporting is available at www.context.news
