Social Media Research In Your Country!

I need your on-the-ground knowledge to build a living directory of the fastest, most reliable breaking-news feeds in your country. Your day-to-day job is straightforward: track social accounts and other hyper-local channels that post first when something happens, vet each one for credibility, and record the details in a neatly structured spreadsheet.

Verification approach
I am counting on you to check each source’s credibility—look at its posting history, consistency, reputation, and whenever useful cross-reference with larger outlets or trusted local voices. No deep analysis or content writing is required; what matters is that every entry you add can be trusted for timely, factual updates.

Please note: We are not looking for mainstream, national television networks or major global news outlets. Instead, we are looking for independent media, hyper-local news channels, community-led update groups, and citizen-run feeds that report on local events directly from the ground in real time.

Primary focus
• Social media feeds that consistently break local stories first.
- Meta Group (Facebook, Instagram, whatsapp)
- Twitter (now X)
- Telegram
- Reddit
and more!

What to deliver
• A spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) listing each source’s handle / URL, platform, language, location focus, typical subject matter (politics, weather, emergencies, etc.), average posting frequency, and a short note on why you consider it reliable.
• A brief summary of the verification steps you followed for the trickiest entries.
• Ongoing additions for one week (or until we mutually agree the list is mature).
