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.
