for democracy
FACTA is an independent Italian non-profit media outlet that applies the scientific method to investigative and data journalism. Our mission is to promote democracy through science-based investigations. We work in Italy, a country with enormous political, environmental, and social issues. We publish in Italian and English, often in syndication with other Italian media. We strongly believe rigorous, transparent, open science, public interest journalism can help better inform the public debate and build scientific citizenship.
