Recon News is an independent investigations desk founded in October 2025 by Emmanuel Vega. We verify first and publish next—showing our methods, citing sources, and labeling confidence. You might not like everything we publish, but our aim is simple: publish the truth without filters.
What you get
- Investigations: evidence-based reporting with receipts
- Methods & datasets: transparent workflows and public files you can audit
- Newsletter: weekly updates on new investigations and open questions
How we work
- Evidence first: primary sources and reproducible checks over claims
- Method notes: each story includes what we did and why it’s reliable
- Confidence labels: High / Medium / Low, with clear reasoning
- Changelogs: dated updates and visible corrections when facts evolve
Standards
- Independence: reporting decisions are editorial; no pay-to-play, no sponsored verdicts
- Transparency: sources linked, documents archived, data versioned
- Fairness: we seek comment, include context, and separate facts from analysis
