Whether you're following local developments in Cape Town or tracking global shifts in politics, technology, and business, we’re here to keep you informed with integrity and care.

What We Do

At Apple Tree Daily News, our mission is simple: to deliver news that matters, without hype or bias. We believe that an informed public is the foundation of a thriving democracy. That’s why we focus on factual reporting, thoughtful analysis, and context-rich stories that help you understand not just what happened, but why it matters.

About the Creator

Apple Tree Daily News was founded by Damien Faulkner, a journalist and lifelong learner based in Gardens, Cape Town. With over a decade of experience in media and public communication, Damien created this platform out of a deep concern for misinformation and a passion for truthful storytelling. He believes that quality journalism should be accessible to everyone — regardless of background or income.

Why This Website Exists

In a world saturated with noise, Damien noticed a growing gap between what people need to know and what they’re being told. Many news sources prioritize clicks over clarity, opinion over evidence. Apple Tree Daily News was born to fill that gap — offering a calm, reliable space where facts come first, and readers are treated as thoughtful individuals, not just audiences.

Our Values

Our approach is guided by three core principles:

  • Accuracy: Every story is verified before publication
  • Transparency: We cite sources and correct errors openly
  • Independence: We are not owned by corporations or political interests

We do not chase viral trends. We don’t sensationalize. We listen to our readers and strive to be the news source you can rely on, day after day.
