### What does AllYouCanRead do?
AllYouCanRead is essentially a global media directory. It provides listings for newspapers, magazines and news websites organised by country and subject, with search functions that can be used by publication name, keyword, category or location.
The site says it covers more than 200 countries and approximately 25,000 magazines, newspapers and top news sites.
**The lowdown:** It can help find relevant newspapers/magazines/news websites across different countries and subject areas, particularly when looking for local or specialist reporting that may otherwise be difficult to identify.
### How to Use:
**1. Search for a publication, topic, country or location, or browse the relevant geographical and subject categories.**
**2. Review the listed newspapers, magazines and news websites and identify sources relevant to the investigation.**
**3. Follow the relevant publication links and independently assess the reporting, publication date, author and original source before using it as evidence.**

### Use in Reporting
AllYouCanRead can be used to:
* Identify newspapers, magazines and news websites relevant to an investigation.
* Discover regional or international media outlets that may not appear in initial searches.
* Locate publications by country, topic, location or publication name.
* Develop leads when investigating an event, organisation, individual or geographic area.
* Cross-reference reporting from different media markets.
* Identify original or local reporting that can be investigated independently.
* Document publication names, URLs, locations and the date information was observed.
* Support media-source discovery during the discovery and enrichment stages of an OSINT investigation.
* Inform further research by identifying additional news sources for corroboration.
| **Capabilities** | **Limitations** |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Large international directory of newspapers, magazines and news websites. | It’s primarily a directory rather than an investigative database. |
| Covers publications from more than 200 countries. | Being listed does not establish that a publication is reliable or authoritative. |
| Searchable by publication, keyword, category and location. | Information and links may become outdated. |
| Useful for discovering regional and specialist media sources. | It doesn’t independently verify the accuracy of the reporting it links to. |
| Can help broaden media-source research beyond major search engines. | Some linked publications may require subscriptions or paywalls to access their content. |
### Summary
AllYouCanRead fits best within the discovery and enrichment stages of the OSINT workflow and is of particular use when looking for local or specialist reporting that may otherwise be difficult to identify.
However, it should be treated as a source-discovery tool rather than a source-verification tool. Information found through the directory should be followed back to the original publication and independently assessed.
### Ownership
Owned and operated by AMIXIMA, a digital media and web development company based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
### Ethical Considerations
* Treat directory listings as source-discovery leads, not evidence of reliability or accuracy.
* Verify significant claims against the original publication and, where possible, independent sources.
* Be aware of potential political, commercial or editorial biases within individual media outlets.
* Clearly distinguish between information contained in an original article and information merely identified through AllYouCanRead.
