Founded in 2017, G7 focuses on economic and financial issues. Its goal is to provide fact-based, analytical journalism with unique stories to reach a broader public. "We are here to follow what's happening in and around the economy and to write articles that everyone can understand," the founder and editor-in-chief Márton Kasnyik wrote the day G7 started.

The site encouraged rational arguments from day one. "We are independent but not without values. One of our core values is the transparent, unbiased debate," the organisation states in its opening post. Besides, G7's journalists believe in the media's role of controlling those in power. "At the same time, we are grounded in rationality and fact-checking; we will avoid conjecture," Kasnyik said in an interview.

G7 started under the 24.hu media organisation. However, following the first year's success, it became independent. Its goal is not click-baiting but grabbing readers' attention. According to its brand research, its readers value thoroughness, objectivity, credibility, reliability, and impartiality.

The team comprises a relatively small newsroom - eight full-time journalists - working to produce information. However, it has a network of 20-25 freelance experts and contributors to include a broader perspective on the stories and the information it publishes.

G7 is a non-profit organisation whose primary income is from advertising, but the media outlet also receives individual donations.
