About Us

KnowTheTruth is a public information platform that helps readers separate verified facts from fast-moving narratives. We track widely shared claims, compile credible sources, and present clear context – so you can make up your own mind based on evidence, not noise.

In today’s news cycle, stories move fast. Headlines get shared faster than context. Claims become conclusions. And public opinion is often shaped before the full picture is available. KnowTheTruth exists to slow that down, and bring clarity back into the conversation.

What we do

We track high-impact narratives that influence public perception and public trust – especially around large-scale projects, institutions, and issues that affect everyday life.
You will find:

  • Fact Checks that address specific claims using documents, filings, and official records wherever possible
  • Mythbusters that quickly explain what’s true, what’s not, and what’s missing
  • Explainers that provide context behind complex issues, decisions, and developments
  • Truth Files that archive timelines, source links, and key updates for ongoing stories

Our principles

KnowTheTruth is guided by two basic principles:

  1. Evidence first
    We prioritise primary sources – official records, documented timelines, published data, and on-the-record statements.
  2. Clarity over outrage
    We don’t exist to inflame. We exist to inform. Our goal is to reduce misinformation, not add to it.

Why it exists

Misinformation doesn’t just confuse people – it erodes trust, distorts decisions, and damages reputations without due process. KnowTheTruth is designed to be a steady place to check the record before forming an opinion.

A note to readers

KnowTheTruth encourages critical thinking. Read widely. Question responsibly. And when you see a strong claim, ask a simple question:
What’s the evidence?
