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).

Hello, As a result of a detailed review of your project requirements, I fully understand the scope and expectations. I have experience conducting OSINT research, social media intelligence gathering, data collection, and source verification projects, and I'm available to start your project right now. I bring deep expertise in Internet Research, OSINT, Data Collection, Data Analysis, Excel, Social Media Research, User Research, and Data Entry with over 10 years of experience. One of the key challenges in projects like this is separating genuinely reliable local sources from accounts that simply repost information from larger outlets. I can deliver a structured spreadsheet containing source URLs, platform, language, geographic focus, content categories, posting frequency, reliability notes, and documentation of verification methods for more complex cases. I can also provide ongoing updates throughout the agreed one-week period. I have a couple of quick questions. • Which country or countries would you like covered initially? • Is there a target number of verified sources you would like collected during the first week? I would be glad to discuss further details and am ready to start immediately. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Carlos

MOST BREAKING NEWS DIRECTORIES FAIL BECAUSE THEY COLLECT POPULAR ACCOUNTS INSTEAD OF THE ACCOUNTS THAT ACTUALLY BREAK THE STORY FIRST. The challenge is not finding news sources. It is identifying the hyper local accounts, community groups, Telegram channels, X accounts, and citizen reporters that consistently publish reliable information before larger media outlets pick it up. For this project, I would focus on building a structured and verified database rather than simply compiling social profiles. Each source would be evaluated based on posting consistency, historical accuracy, geographic focus, engagement quality, and how frequently their reports are later confirmed by trusted local or regional outlets. The final spreadsheet will include source URLs, platform, language, coverage area, content focus, posting frequency, and verification notes explaining why each source earned a place in the directory. For difficult cases, I will also document the validation process used to confirm credibility. My goal is to help you build a directory that remains useful for real time monitoring rather than a list of accounts with large follower counts. Before I begin, one important question: are you looking for coverage across the entire country, or should the research focus primarily on specific regions, cities, or provinces where speed of reporting matters most?
