Noir News is an investigative newsletter run by independent journalists Iain Carlos (Noir founder) and Sam Carlen. We cover foreign policy, geopolitics, civil liberties, surveillance, the Chicago Police Department, and government misdeeds, among other topics. Subscribe for free below!

We started Noir News in 2023 as a home for our investigative reporting, independent of any moneyed interests or interference from higher-ups in establishment media. We’ve already revealed that a Government-funded Stanford University research project whitewashed a neo-Nazi battalion in Ukraine; uncovered how the notorious Homan Square Chicago Police facility was also used by the Department of Justice; exposed the flaws and biases of a prominent Iranian-public-opinion pollster; and revealed how the Archdiocese of Chicago bungled a sexual abuse investigation. Our work has been republished and cited by outlets such as The Grayzone, Antiwar.com, Spencer Ackerman’s Forever Wars, and Naked Capitalism, among others.
