We The People News is an independent investigative publication focused on civil rights, courts, public records, government accountability, and documented abuses of power.
What we cover
Our reporting follows the paper trail and the public record: court filings, agency correspondence, public-records responses, video and audio evidence, official statements, and firsthand documentation. WTP News publishes breaking developments, long-form investigations, court coverage, civil-rights reporting, and public-interest tools that help readers examine the underlying evidence for themselves.
Our approach
We believe accountability reporting is strongest when readers can see the source material. Whenever practical, our stories link to or reproduce the records, filings, recordings, and other documents that support the reporting. We aim to make clear what is documented fact, what is disputed, and what is analysis or opinion.
Independent by design
WTP News is not a government agency and is not controlled by the officials or institutions it covers. Editorial decisions are made independently. Reader support helps fund reporting, publishing infrastructure, records work, travel, and the tools used to make source material accessible.
Founder and publisher
WTP News was founded and is published by Matthew Reardon, also known as Don Matthews. Read his full background on the founder biography page.
