About
We are a non-partisan, independent, volunteer-driven research group founded in 2024, focused on the analysis of journalistic reporting practices that shape public understanding, policy debates, and legal discourse.

Our mission is to produce rigorous, transparent, and methodologically sound research on journalistic reporting practices in international media. We aim to improve public understanding of how information is constructed, sourced, and framed in high-impact news coverage, particularly in the context of conflict reporting.
Our research combines quantitative content analysis with transparent, reproducible methodologies, including OSINT-based approaches. We collaborate with international think tanks and research centers, including Henry Jackson Society, contributing independent empirical research to broader policy and media discussions.
The group brings together researchers and volunteers from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds. We operate without political or institutional affiliation and without external funding, with the goal of contributing rigorous, evidence-based insights to discussions on media responsibility, reporting standards, and information integrity.
Our research is intended for journalists, policymakers, academics, and the wider public. Through evidence-based analysis, we seek to support more accurate reporting standards, informed policy discussions, and greater accountability in the global information environment.
Core Team
Our team brings together around 50 professional volunteers from across the world, including sociologists, researchers, and specialists in data analysis and computational methods. Together, they contribute diverse expertise and perspectives to support Fifty Global’s research and analytical work.
