About OpenFact

Democratizing Access to Verified Information

OpenFact believes that factual information belongs to the public—not corporations, governments, or privileged elites. We make verified journalism freely accessible.

The Open Commitment

Everything we publish operates on principles of openness:

• Free access—no subscriptions, no barriers
• Transparent sourcing—show our work
• Open to contributors from any background
• Available globally without geographic restrictions

Why "Open" Matters

When facts become products sold to the highest bidder, democracy suffers. OpenFact represents a different model: public-interest journalism supported by volunteers, accessible to all.

Contributor Democracy

We don't have editors who decide what's newsworthy based on ratings or revenue. Our contributors—from professional journalists to domain experts—determine our coverage.

Sustained by Community

OpenFact runs on volunteer power. No venture capital exit strategy. No advertising department. Just committed individuals who believe facts should flow freely.

Open facts build open societies.
