UnHerd is a British news website founded on 21 July 2017. The website's stated mission is to "push back against the herd mentality with new and bold thinking, and to provide a platform for otherwise unheard ideas, people and places".
The website is edited by former Daily Telegraph and Independent journalist Sally Chatterton following the departure of Tim Montgomerie in March 2018. Freddie Sayers joined the magazine in 2019 as Executive Editor, having previously been Editor-in-Chief of YouGov and founder of the British news and current affairs website Politics Home. As of January 2020 the website has 10 full-time editorial and production staff.
The site's columnists include Giles Fraser, Ed West, Tanya Gold, John Gray, James Bloodworth, Matthew Goodwin, Julie Bindel and Douglas Murray.
The website exists without a paywall, with its operating budget deriving from an endowment by former Liberal Democrat donor, Brexit-supporting businessman Sir Paul Marshall. The site intends to introduce paid services. Source
