# About eclair.world

**eclair.world is an independent English-language publication that explains the news.** It was founded in 2026 and is edited in Madrid, Spain, by its editor-in-chief, Thierry Gustin.

## What does eclair.world publish?

eclair.world publishes explanatory journalism: articles that answer the questions behind the headlines, with the figures, the dates and the sources that support each answer. Ten sections cover the world as a daily newspaper does: World, Business, Technology, Science, Health, Climate, Culture, Food, Travel and Sports.

Each article opens with a direct answer, lists its key points and ends with a list of sources you can check yourself. When a topic changes, the article is updated and its update date is shown under the headline.

## Who is behind eclair.world?

Thierry Gustin is the founder and editor-in-chief of eclair.world. French-born and based in Madrid for more than a decade, he is an independent publisher (Éditions Olibook) and an AI trainer ([GustinAI](https://gustinai.com)). He works in French, Spanish and English.

He sets the editorial line, chooses the subjects, reviews every article and its sources before publication, and handles corrections.

## How are articles researched and written?

Articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, then checked and edited by the editor-in-chief. No figure, quote or study is published without a source that the reader can open. Illustrations are generated with AI and are labelled as such under each image: they never pretend to be photographs of real events or real people. The full rules are in our [editorial standards and AI policy](https://eclair.world/editorial-standards).

## Is eclair.world independent?

Yes. eclair.world belongs to its editor and is not owned by a political party, a company or a government. No article is paid for by the subject it covers. If advertising or sponsored content is ever published, it will be clearly marked as such.

## How can I contact the newsroom?

Write to [contact@eclair.world](mailto:contact@eclair.world) or use the [contact form](https://eclair.world/contact). Corrections are welcome and are answered by the editor.
