Mercator describes itself as "your first stop for news and analysis that places the dignity of the human person at the centre of everything."
For over 20 years Mercator has given a platform to perspectives on news and issues that puts people, not money, first. No clickbait, just real issues. It’s not about left or right, liberal or conservative: it’s about firm unchanged moral principles, common sense, and evidence. We affirm that human beings are not machines, mere animals, or economic units. Human beings have inherent dignity and transcendent value and promoting human dignity is at the centre of everything we do. We are proudly dignitarian. Whether it’s coverage of popular culture, family, sexuality, bioethics, religion, or law, we return to that core principle.
Mercator is named for Gerardus Mercator, the great Renaissance cartographer. Like Mercator we aim to open up new worlds and venture into uncharted seas. We explore new territory, and chart paths through murky and complex issues but we always keep our compass fixed on the dignity of the human person.
