We produce the nation's best investigative journalism. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit funded solely by the American people.
We are journalists exposing corruption in government, media, big tech, politics, education, and beyond through undercover video.
“America needs a free press, not corporate media, that regurgitates talking points from the powers that be. Courage and independence define Project Veritas. As the country’s most important investigative news organization, we will pursue our mission to shine light on the darkest corners of power in America."
Project Veritas has been the collection of a small group of idealistic truth-telling journalists from its inception in 2010. Frustrated by the power of the mainstream to silence important stories and voices, instead of continually complaining about the media, Project Veritas is when patriots decided to be the media. James O'Keefe founded Project Veritas in the wake of Hannah Giles' successful ACORN Investigation. Hundreds of major investigations later, Project Veritas has resurrected the great American tradition of investigative journalism and proven its potential to reveal stubbornly hidden truths.
Since 2010, many bright and unsung men and women have gone undercover to expose the corruption of society’s most powerful people and institutions. With the financial backing of generous everyday Americans, Veritas has produced some of the nation’s best journalism, won fundamental first amendment battles, and permanently reestablished a standard for truth in media.
Project Veritas is facing many challenges that are familiar to growing organizations. We are making major changes internally due to the nature of our past interpersonal and managerial issues. We are more committed than ever to producing great journalism that exposes the stubborn false narratives plaguing our society.
