Journalists Require Verification

Journalists serve as an essential conduit of information to the public. Having a verified presence on social platforms allows the public to connect directly with these sources of information, fostering a more informed and engaged community.

Reducing Impersonation: By verifying journalists on social platforms, we help reduce the risk of impersonation and the spread of false information.
Cost Free: We believe in the role of journalism plays in society. Due to the nature of their work journalists should be verified and shouldn't have to incur the cost.
Boosting Public Confidence: Verification of journalists can increase public confidence, providing clear indicators of information sources, fostering a more transparent and reliable media landscape.
