what happens to a story that nobody is assigned to cover?
it keeps happening; it just stops being news.
the first reports are on the way. follow @bearwitness.news.
how to check us.
every post is built so you can.
why should you trust a number you saw on instagram? you shouldn’t, until you can see where it came from.
- the source
every number names its source, on the same slide.
- when
every figure carries its date. if it is from may, the slide says may.
- the proof
slide 7 of every report is the source itself: a screenshot of the source page, stamped with the time we captured it.
- the links
every link behind a post is in its caption.
- when we’re wrong
if we get something wrong, the correction is a post, not a quiet edit.
bear witness
we document the human impact of political and economic decisions — on communities being displaced, starved, exploited, and erased — using data, documents, and published reporting from the ground.
every number is traceable to its source. every source is captured with a timestamp before we post. we don’t manufacture outrage. we provide evidence.
we don’t editorialize. we don’t run unverified footage. we don’t post a number we can’t show you the origin of. if we get something wrong, the correction is a post, not a quiet edit.
