A journalism-led firm building the newsrooms behind modern brands.

About us

Why we built Astra

Our story

Astra was founded by journalists and newsroom leaders who had spent their careers reporting, editing, and running editorial teams around the world. We knew what a strong newsroom could do: find the story inside a complex subject, make good editorial judgments quickly, and produce work people trust enough to return to.

We believed organizations could build that same kind of relationship with their own audiences, strengthening reputation and creating demand.

Over the past decade, that idea has taken us inside some of the world’s largest organizations, where we’ve built and supported editorial teams, brand newsrooms, and publishing programs across markets and formats.
