OpenVerify lets anyone request confirmation of news claims directly from verified media outlets—and tracks responses in public.
Paste a news article or social post into OpenVerify.
Our Verified Media Registry (VMR) checks if the outlet is confirmed with real contact info.
Click “Verify This Claim”—a permanent, shareable page is created.
They receive an alert and can reply: “Confirmed”, “Corrected”, or with details.
Responses are public, timestamped, and build the outlet’s credibility score.
Real addresses, phone numbers, and editorial contacts—verified, not guessed.
Anyone can ask. All replies are public—like GitHub Issues for journalism.
No paywall. No ads. Built as public infrastructure for truth.
