About Us | True Signal Media

Our Mission

In an era of information overload and manufactured narratives, True Signal Media exists to transmit clarity. We document what endures—stories of service members abandoned by bureaucracy, communities building resilience against systemic challenges, and citizens demanding accountability from those in power.

We prioritize depth over virality, substance over spectacle, and truth over convenience.

What We Do

True Signal Media is an independent accountability journalism outlet focused on government transparency, institutional failures, and systematic corruption. We use Freedom of Information Act requests, investigative reporting, and data analysis to expose how power operates when it thinks no one is watching.

Our Coverage Areas

Veteran Advocacy & Rescue

Through our flagship project, Covenant for Warriors (CFW), we document cases of U.S. veterans abandoned by government systems—particularly those stranded overseas due to bureaucratic negligence or discriminatory treatment. We pursue FOIA-driven accountability journalism, Congressional outreach, and public awareness campaigns to force institutional action.

Government Accountability

We investigate federal and state agencies for transparency failures, misuse of public funds, and systematic obstruction of oversight. Our FOIA operations target multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, tracking response patterns and exposing agencies that violate sunshine laws. We document institutional negligence, amplify citizen voices in oversight, and pursue transparency advocacy.

Sustainable Impact & Development

We document grassroots sustainability initiatives and community-led development, particularly in Ghana. Our coverage includes regenerative agriculture, land restoration, community-driven environmental initiatives, traditional ecological knowledge, and stories of rebuilding connection to land through economic development and stewardship.

How We Work

True Signal Media operates according to the principles of Fieldwork—a philosophy of preparation, documentation, and enduring impact. It’s boots on the ground. It’s reading the documents. It’s showing up. It’s doing the work that matters, even when no one’s watching.

Our Approach

  • Preparation over Reaction – We do the homework before the crisis
  • Documentation over Speculation – We build the record that lasts
  • Substance over Speed – We prioritize accuracy and depth
  • Legacy over Virality – We focus on what endures
  • Action over Commentary – We engage directly with the work

  • Transparency – We disclose our methods, sources (when appropriate), and any conflicts of interest
  • Corrections – We correct errors promptly and prominently
