Medio Extremo

FiltraLeaks.com is the first media outlet dedicated exclusively to covering news about leaks and their impact on the public sphere. Founded as an expansion of MedioExtremo.com by Argentine journalist Santiago O'Donnell and his editorial team, FiltraLeaks.com analyzes local, regional and international leaks. Through a critical approach, the medium evaluates the ethics of disclosing confidential information, highlights the relevance of the leaks for the public interest and makes the whistleblowers' stories visible. The medium differentiates itself by offering an in-depth analysis of the leaks, comparing them, contextualizing them and debating their social implications. FiltraLeaks.com addresses the fine line between unwarranted invasion of privacy and publishing secrets necessary to expose abuses of power or crimes. This approach seeks to educate its audience about the importance of leaks as a tool for transparency and freedom of expression, essential pillars for democracy in Latin America. FiltraLeaks.com's financing model combines initial contributions from foundations that promote transparency with the generation of income through workshops, consultancies and reports on leaks, ethics and digital security. In addition, the medium encourages community support through individual donations. In this initial stage, the team is seeking alliances with media incubators and startups to ensure their long-term sustainability. With publications in Spanish, Portuguese and English, FiltraLeaks.com is positioned as a reference space to understand the growing era of total transparency and the complex dynamics of data control.
