ABOUT ORWELL

Orwell.org is a free news satire publication created by the Improve the News Foundation, an apolitical American non-profit. It was conceived to help defend democracy and civil liberties from creeping authoritarianism, surveillance, censorship, warmongering and other manipulations – the kind that rarely announce themselves. 

It does this by satirizing anyone and anything that appears to resemble the dystopian worlds imagined by George Orwell, a reference guide we wish were less useful. Through both absurdly fake and eerily realistic headlines, articles and memes, Orwell.org proudly documents and publicizes Orwellian tendencies from across the political spectrum and around the globe. No party affiliation required. Sadly, that includes yours. 

The Improve the News Foundation was founded in October 2020 with the mission to empower people to rise above controversies and understand the world in a nuanced way. Its vision is a world where human society is endowed with reasoned compassion, constructive discourse and well-informed decision-making.

This is an independent satire site with no formal affiliation to the Orwell Foundation and the Estate of the Late Sonia Brownell Orwell. Anyone contemplating making public use of George Orwell's name or works should respect their trademarks and also honor Orwell's legacy by not abusing it.
