Overview:
Presence News gathers information directly from witnesses, spokespersons, and verified public documentation. When needed, trusted one-source-away accounts help fill gaps. Our mission is to provide transparent, authentic reporting without relying on secondhand news cycles.
Presence News is built on a simple principle: the best journalism starts with real people and real experiences. Our newsroom aims to gather information directly from individuals who witnessed an event. Or, from official spokespersons and credible leaders who can speak on the record. When direct access isn’t available, we may rely on trusted one-source-away accounts—such as readers with firsthand connections or public institutions that document events in real time.
Platforms like C-SPAN allow us to obtain unfiltered federal government footage and transcripts. This enables us to publish accurate updates without relying on secondhand reporting. While we avoid recycling content from other media outlets, we do occasionally amplify mainstream stories that are essential for public awareness. Our mission is to deliver transparent, authentic, and responsibly sourced news to our community.
Authenticity
At Presence News, our commitment to authenticity shapes everything that we publish. In a media landscape overflowing with recycled headlines and secondhand summaries, we believe that the most meaningful journalism comes from being as close to the source as possible.
Our First-Hand Philosophy
Whenever possible, we obtain information directly from the people who are living the story. That may be an eyewitness who saw the event unfold or a community member who experienced an issue first-hand. It could also be an official representative of an organization or government agency speaking on record. This direct-contact approach allows us to gather details that are often missed. They can be misinterpreted when information travels through multiple layers of media.
One Source Away — When Direct Isn’t Possible
Sometimes, the most reliable information comes through someone who is one degree removed from the event—such as a reader who personally knows someone who was there. These second-layer sources can still offer valuable context. They often lead to more accurate reporting than relying on generalized online summaries or aggregated news.
Using Verified Public Documentation
For government-related news, we frequently turn to platforms like C-SPAN, which provide unfiltered, real-time documentation of federal events. Through C-SPAN’s live coverage, we can access full video recordings, transcripts, and direct statements from policymakers. This ensures our readers receive precise updates without distortion, delay, or opinion-driven framing.
Minimal Reliance on Other News Outlets
Presence News avoids sourcing information from other media organizations unless absolutely necessary. However, when a major story becomes widely relevant to public health, safety, or general interest, we may relay key updates to ensure our readers stay informed. Even then, we work to verify details independently whenever possible.
Our Mission: Authentic, Transparent News
Ultimately, our goal is simple: provide news that readers can trust. By staying close to the source and prioritizing real voices, documented evidence, and transparent sourcing, Presence News aims to cut through the noise. We aim to deliver clarity in a time when accuracy matters more than ever.
