Uzbekistan and Central Asia are much talked about these days. The countries of the region are clearly in the spotlight.
We want the region to be better understood.
Mezon Central will cover the politics, economy, business and society of the Central Asian countries. We will explain how things work, talk to the people who make the decisions and to those who have to live with the consequences, and follow what is happening inside the region and how it engages with the rest of the world.
We plan to work with strong writers, well-known international analysts and people who know Central Asia from the inside. We also want to bring together on one platform what you would otherwise have to look for in many different places: important stories from the countries of the region, strong opinions, and explanations from people who know their subject. So that the best of everything about the region is on Mezon Central.
Our work rests on the standards of quality journalism: fact-checking, precise wording, a clear line between news and opinion, and a right of reply for anyone we criticise. If we get something wrong, we will correct it. If we don’t know something, we will say so.
For security reasons, not all of our writers and staff will be named. The Mezon Central editorial team takes responsibility for every piece we publish.
We don’t expect you to agree with us on everything. We hope you will have reasons to trust us and will find us worth reading. Ask questions, argue with us, send us stories and documents, especially about things that have long deserved attention but have not yet received it.
