Unlike mainstream news organisations, we have no sponsors, no corporate or ideological interests.
We don’t put up a paywall – we believe in free access to information of public interest.
We endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news firsthand from primary sources.
We can only achieve this goal together. Our website is open to any citizen journalists and organizations who want to contribute, publish high-quality insights or send media releases to improve public access to impartial information. You and we have the right to know, learn, read, hear what and how we deem appropriate.
It has never been easier for vested interests to peddle both disinformation and misinformation, dressed up as news or opinion, on vital matters of public interest. Information overload and selective reporting have left everyday people struggling to discern what is true and what is not.
You live it every day whether it is on TV, newspaper or social media.
“Just think how they put a spin on stories to psychologically shape the perception, emotions or takeaway the audience will be left with. To cloud the audience’s view and prevent them from getting a precise take on the actual happening. It is also called a divide and conquer tactic used by Legacy Media like Newscorp.”
We endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news firsthand from primary sources. It is a bumpy road with all sorties of difficulties.
