The Parlor is an independent, nonprofit-minded digital publication focused on longform reporting and cultural analysis, with a growing commitment to investigative journalism.

 

​At The Parlor, we start from the premise that the personal is political. For that reason, our reporting often begins with personal interviews, human-interest narratives, and local community contexts. We use storytelling as a tool for understanding power—examining how it operates across systems including government, technology, labor, healthcare, media, and family structures—particularly where institutional failure shifts risk, labor, and harm onto caregivers and marginalized communities.

 

We publish carefully reported, edited, and fact-checked work—including reported features, shortform reporting, essays, and cultural analysis—that centers accountability, public interest, and structural power. While our coverage is informed by feminist and human rights frameworks, our reporting is evidence-driven and committed to journalistic rigor.

​

The Parlor operates as a distributed newsroom, partnering with reporters embedded in specific communities to produce work that is locally grounded and globally relevant.

​

Our editorial process emphasizes independence, transparency, and sustained investigation over rapid publication cycles. We prioritize depth, context, and accountability over breaking news coverage.
