Paper Parrot
About Us
Paper Parrot is a digital media brand for curious people: compelling stories, discoveries, culture and the moments worth sharing, with context and credit.
What we do
Paper Parrot began on social media, where we share striking images, surprising discoveries, human-interest stories and the moments people are talking about. This website is our home for the full versions of those stories: with context, credits and sources, and an archive that is still there after a post has scrolled away.
What we cover
- Culture: internet culture, ideas and the things people are talking about.
- Discoveries: fascinating finds, facts and clear explanations.
- People: human-interest stories and the people behind them.
- World: stories from around the world.
- Entertainment: film, television, music and the culture around them.
How we work
A story spreading widely doesn't make it true. Before we publish, we try to confirm what happened, where an image came from and who made it. We credit original creators, link to our sources, label illustrations and AI-generated images clearly, and correct errors openly. Our Editorial Standards explain all of this in detail.
We use software tools, including AI-assisted drafting and research tools, to work efficiently. A person reviews and approves every story before it is published, and Paper Parrot is responsible for everything that appears under our name.
The parrot
Our mascot is a parrot reading the paper. Parrots repeat what they hear. A good publication checks what it hears first, then passes on what holds up. That's the job we've set ourselves.
Ownership and independence
Paper Parrot is a digital media brand operated by Hermeon Trism LLC. Editorial decisions are made by Paper Parrot's editors. We do not currently publish sponsored content. If we do in future, it will be clearly labeled.
