About Truth Computing Media
Truth Computing Media documents the places, people, and systems reshaping everyday life. It reports from the ground, uses primary evidence wherever possible, and shows audiences what it found.
Truth Computing Media is an independent journalism and documentary storytelling organization. We report from California and beyond, prioritizing ground-level reporting and primary evidence over secondhand accounts.
Our reporting is organized by topic — Immigration, California on Fire, California Growth, Cities, and Democracy & Rights — and by format, including Captured (our observational visual-essay franchise) and Explainers. See the full Series breakdown for how topics and formats combine across field dispatches, documentary film, photo essays, and data-driven explainers.
The Technology desk publishes reporting, analysis, essays, and interviews on artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, and the systems beneath them.
Truth Computing Media was co-founded by Mark Yesubalen Torre, Matthew Torre, and Yuri Waugh. Read their full bios on the Founders page, and see how we approach sourcing and accuracy on our Editorial Standards page.
