The Looking Glass is the project of Jackie Black, a writer from provincial New Zealand. It is intended as a place for independent thinking and reporting with a focus on New Zealand in the time of covid, but covers other under-reported areas or offers alternative takes on major news stories and narratives.

The site is dedicated to open debate, critical thinking, free expression, dissenting voices and alternative views. The views and opinions of contributing authors, unless otherwise stated, do not reflect the opinion or position of the The Looking Glass.
