About Us

Independent journalism connecting Bangladesh and the USA. Truth-driven stories that challenge perspectives and inspire change across borders. Truth First, Always. Stories That Matter.

Living Arcade is an independent news platform born from a simple conviction: journalism should make you think, not just inform.

We don't chase clicks with sensational headlines or reduce complex issues to comfortable narratives. Instead, we dig deeper—into the stories behind the headlines, the people behind the policies, the questions nobody else is asking. Our reporting spans two worlds: the bustling streets of Bangladesh and the diverse communities of the United States, particularly Florida, where our roots run deep.

Journalism Without Borders, Reporting Without Compromise

In an era of echo chambers and algorithmic feeds, Living Arcade stands apart. We don't algorithmically serve you what you want to hear—we deliver what you need to know. Our editorial independence means we're accountable only to truth and our readers, never to political parties, corporate interests, or ideological camps. Every day, our journalists work across time zones and continents to bring you stories that traditional media overlooks. We cover the crossing guard who protects children while speeding drivers ignore her sign. We investigate why teachers strike while students suffer. We question surveillance culture even when it's marketed as safety. These aren't just news stories—they're windows into the human condition, examinations of the systems we live within, and invitations to think critically about the world we're building together. Whether you're reading us from a coffee shop in Clearwater or a tea stall in Chittagong, you're part of a community that values substance over spin, depth over speed, and truth over convenience.

Our Mission

To deliver fearless, independent journalism that connects communities across borders, challenges conventional narratives, and empowers readers with the context they need to understand our complex world. We exist to ask difficult questions, amplify unheard voices, and pursue truth without compromise—serving both the Bangladeshi diaspora and American readers who crave depth over distraction.

Our Vision

A world where journalism transcends geographical boundaries and cultural barriers, where readers in Dhaka and Florida share a common platform for understanding global events through local lenses. We envision a media landscape where philosophical inquiry meets investigative rigor, where every story acknowledges complexity, and where truth matters more than virality. Living Arcade aims to become the trusted voice for millions who refuse to settle for surface-level reporting and demand journalism that respects their intelligence.

I discovered Living Arcade last month when searching for coverage on Florida’s education policies. What I found was so much more than dry policy reporting—it was journalism that actually made me think.

As a Bangladeshi-American living in Miami, I’ve always struggled to find news that speaks to both sides of my identity. Living Arcade gets it. This is reporting for adults who want to understand, not just consume.
