transparency

I publish all article sources publicly. Each article has a source post. Each citation in the article links directly to the source(s) for that citation in the source post.

If you find incorrect information, missing sources, broken citations, etc., please reach out! I monitor all communication channels listed here.

I am also planning to publish all interview transcripts (and possibly recordings) publicly in the future, in order to maintain complete transparency. Doing so would require lots of additional storage and time, so I am taking some time to find an efficient method.

income

Currently, I only have two sources of income: Patreon donations, and my Patreon shop.

I’m aiming to have the following sources of income: Patreon donations, Patreon store, sponsorships, YouTube ad revenue, and government grants.

action

News can leave you feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and/or hopeless.
Especially when it doesn’t provide hope, a course of action, or solutions.

When I report on world issues, I often don’t simply give information.
I inform people about what’s happening, why it matters, and what we can do about it. Here’s an example.

purpose

The purpose of my journalism isn’t to sway someone to a new opinion, generate clicks, build readership, or influence the public opinion.

• I do journalism to inform people, allowing them to make conscious decisions.
• I do journalism to hold people, governments, corporations, etc., accountable.
• I do journalism to keep people connected to the rest of the world and each other.

audience

Instead of writing for my peers, I write for the average person.

If I were to write an article about AI, people who know nothing about AI would be able to read and digest it, absorbing the takeaways just as well as an AI expert.

format and bias

When I write articles, they’re short and concise; easy to read and digest. They’re based on facts, aren’t designed to push a hidden message, and quotes aren’t taken out of context to show just one side of a story.

Instead of writing that a company is corrupt, I simply write the facts: why and how that company is corrupt.

Headlines are also a major part of bias. My headlines aren’t twisted to maximize engagement and provoke strong emotions.
