About TruePublica

The aims of TruePublica, as one of the UK’s top sources of independent news, is to publish news, analysis, commentary and research on events of public interest (hence the Latin – ‘Publica’) and to raise awareness of misinformation, disinformation, fake news and propaganda.

TruePublica is an independent media source that is quoted, cited, republished, referenced and translated all over the world.

We are particularly focused on challenging current neoliberal ideology and a toxic political environment that is causing a wave of disruption as western countries move from one social and economic crisis to another.

We support the principles of real democracy (the will of the people), capitalism (price discovery, not rigged markets) and civil liberty (freedom from state interference).

TruePublica also acts as a hub, liaising with partner organisations and individuals with similar aims. We are privately managed and made up of contributing journalists, writers, authors, researchers and both industry and academic professionals.

The purpose of TruePublica is to enable more informed decisions and opinions on matters such as civil liberty, human rights, privacy, social, economic and environmental issues as well as pivotal events such as Brexit.

 

Evolution

TruePublica evolved from a project started in 2012 through a website that offered an alternative view on current affairs, particularly in Britain. At its peak, the website reached over 1 million users a week, was as a top 1 per cent social media performer and rated “politically influential.” It was featured on well-known and highly influential outlets around the world – and attracted writers from national newspapers and political policy writers, amongst others.

By 2015, it was obvious that fake news, misinformation and propaganda was a driving force behind much of the political outcomes being experienced today, which inspired us to help the wider public understand the importance of questioning and researching these important public interest topics.

At this point, ViewPublica was formed as a political campaigning and public affairs organisation.

TruePublica will shine a light on political parties, the corporations that fund them and their lobbyists along with providing informed commentary from some of the most well-known journalists from around the world whose truth-telling is second to none – often award-winning.

 

In September 2019, TruePublica became a media partner of the United Nations (UN News)

 

We are also a proud member of The Independent Media Association (IMA), a cooperative of independent media outlets free of corporate or government control.
