1/ We have a new initiative we’re v excited about—to do visual-sourced investigations.
We’ll be gathering videos, audio, photos, as evidence of potential abuses of power & then telling those stories in whatever medium.

2/ Nothing’s more important for us than evidence. So we have teams who specialize in gathering diff kinds of it. All are reporters, w/ subset of super-skills:
-Research digs up docs.
-Data gets the #s
-Engagement finds affected peeps
And now...visual evidence.

3/ We’re living in an age of recordings. By phones, CCTVs, bodycams and more. And it’s only going to increase. This can be *evidence* for vital investigations.
4/ We’ve already been gathering lots of recordings. We obtained, of course, audio of children screaming after being separated from their parents at the border.

5/ We used crowdsourced footage to identify neo-Nazis who participated in the Charlottesville, Virginia, rally and white supremacists who assaulted people at rallies across California. Several of those men have since been arrested.
6/ And we obtained footage of police officers beating a handcuffed man in Elkhart, Indiana. A few weeks later, the police chief resigned.
7/ Now, we want to do even more ambitious, impactful visual investigations.
Here’s a playlist of some of our latest visual investigations:
