Why it exists

Important stories keep developing after the headline disappears.

Black Current is built around continuity. It begins with the verifiable event, maps the relevant relationships and incentives, separates fact from analysis, and keeps following later records that materially change the conclusion.

Research scope

Politics is one source of power. It is not the boundary.

Black Current follows documented concentrations of money, control, access, or institutional authority that create a meaningful public consequence.

01Government decisions and public money
02Corporations and executives
03Lobbying and institutional access
04Funds, ownership, and private equity
05Regulation and enforcement
06Financial and public consequence

Founder and publisher

Ben Horch Black Current Media

A record-first approach built from financial media.

Ben Horch founded Black Current after building Bors Finance, a financial media business focused on public disclosures, institutional activity, and making complex information useful to ordinary readers. Black Current applies that experience to a wider field of government decisions, corporate power, influence, ownership, and consequence.

Black Current is independently owned and publishes under a written standard for sourcing, attribution, fair response, corrections, and visible revisions.
