Ingredients labels on food didn’t used to be a thing. After all, who needs a label when you are cooking a meal from scratch - you know what the ingredients are.
But with the rise of TV dinners and other packaged food in the 70s, no one knew what they were eating anymore. So the FDA developed the ingredients label.
We’re at a similar point with information. We used to get news from a few TV networks and our local newspaper - so we knew what we were getting, even if we didn’t always like it.
But now, there are countless news sources in our feeds and it’s hard to tell which ones are reliable.
So about a year ago, I started thinking, wouldn’t it be great if news articles told us what they’re actually made of?
Here at Proof, we’re trying to do that.
Every investigation we do comes with an ingredients label. It shows the key elements of our work so you can evaluate it. And hopefully it gives you a framework for judging other news, too.
Our goal is to be as transparent as possible. Because you deserve better facts.
