Perspectives: Examining the particular perspectives of different individuals and groups on the scene.

Source Materials: Providing detailed analysis based on an extensive review of source material, including reports, eyewitness interviews, and a synchronization of nearly 200 video clips.

About Stephen Horn: Stephen Horn is an independent journalist. He has filmed multiple political protests, worked on a documentary series, and traveled overseas on projects. He was also there on January 6th filming. Stephen entered the field of journalism not as a career, but out of a passion for truth spurred by repeatedly seeing news coverage that did not reflect what he personally witnessed with his own eyes. Rather than simply complain, he decided to “enter the arena” and make an attempt to better inform the public using his existing video and technical skills. Stephen tries to create the type of journalism that he would consume; reporting that includes all available context and eschews a partisan bent. It’s content that provides accurate information: the foundation necessary for people to form sound opinions.
