🚨 Big news! We just launched our first-ever crowdfunding campaign! Let us introduce you to Public Editor – Berlin’s climate reality check 🌍
What if your neighborhood could shape the news?
Last winter, Unbias the News took to the streets of Berlin to ask people what topics needed more attention where they live — and they told us loud and clear: climate change needs more attention, more action, and more accountability.
🎤 So we’re launching Public Editor to put climate justice at the heart of local journalism.
We’re crowdfunding to fund deep, community-rooted investigations that spotlight real solutions and hold the powerful to account.
💥 This is our first-ever crowdfunding campaign — and we need you with us from day one.
👉 Back the project now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/publiceditor/public-editor-berlins-climate-reality-check (Link in bio)
📢 Then spread the word to your people who care about climate, truth, and change.
Let’s show what journalism by the people, for the people can do. 💚

🚨 Poland’s New Border Law: Protection or Human Rights Violation?
Poland just passed a law allowing authorities to suspend asylum applications at the border for up to 60 days—extendable with parliamentary approval. Officials claim it’s a security measure against Belarus weaponizing migration, but human rights groups warn it traps vulnerable people in danger and violates international law.
Our newsroom has been reporting on the Eastern European migration crisis since 2021, covering everything from the mental toll on activists helping migrants to human rights violations by Polish border guards—some with deadly consequences.
What do you think? Is this a `necessary` step for national security, or is it a dangerous precedent violating human rights? Let us know your thoughts in the comments 👇

What happens when the truth is shut down? Where do people turn when reliable information is hard to find and independent media is almost wiped out?
🇻🇪 In Venezuela, 80% of radio stations are gone, 400+ media outlets shut down, and journalists jailed. But censorship hasn’t stopped the news—it’s just taken a new form.
🚍 The Bus TV is turning city buses into moving newsrooms, delivering independent news to people on the streets. Citizens are fact-checking, reporting from balconies, and breaking through censorship. In a country where 30% lack internet and independent media is blocked, citizens are taking journalism to the streets.
Want to learn how people worldwide are defending democracy? Check out The Democracy Playbook for more bold strategies.

*Peekaboo* Have you checked out the first three stories of our Democracy Playbook yet? 😊
Let international journalists take you to civil movements in South Africa, the Philippines and Venezuela. 🗺
But what is Democracy Playbook about?
The independent media has done a good job of exposing the “authoritarian playbook” of strategies oppressive forces use to capture institutions, demonize minorities, suppress free expression and undermine the rule of law.
📢 Democracy Playbook, on the other hand, maps responses through rigorous, context-rich reporting on the movements fighting for free speech, climate protection and independent judiciary.
Too often, these stories are told in terms of public disturbance and disruptions to the “normal” functioning of society. We asked: what if they were reported as narratives in an ongoing story of global resistance to authoritarianism?
Reporters around the world answered with stories that will be published throughout 2025.
