Overview
This open journalism initiative is dedicated to sustaining independent reporting that can be trusted, verified, and shared with a global audience. By supporting editorial workflows, data visualization, and accessible publishing, we strengthen the capacity of reporters, researchers, and community partners to tell complex stories clearly and responsibly.
Donations enable practical, long‑term investments in the infrastructure that underpins credible journalism: rigorous fact‑checking, transparent sourcing, and open access to reporting materials. They also help expand training, tooling, and outreach so diverse voices can participate in the conversation and readers can engage with the work on their own terms.
