OUR MISSIONABOUT US
About The Verified Post
The Verified Post is an independent digital publication covering history, culture, entrepreneurship, entertainment, and the overlooked stories behind major events. We publish one carefully researched long-form story each week.
Akber Bukhari is a senior writer at The Verified Post. He researches and writes the publication's evidence-backed long-form journalism — covering history, public health, human rights, and the untold cultural stories behind major events. His reporting draws on primary documents, archival records, and peer-reviewed studies, and every article is fact-checked against its original sources before publication.
Rei Lantion is an editor and feature writer at The Verified Post, based in the Philippines. She has worked as a professional writer since 2014, as a web content producer, a senior content writer and a games and tech news writer, and has also worked in public relations as a publicist. At The Verified Post she writes human-interest and feature stories, and every article is fact-checked against its original sources before publication.
What We Do
We tell the human stories that typically get reduced to footnotes. A forgotten inventor. A pop-culture moment that reveals something larger. A historical figure whose real story has been flattened by retelling. Our articles run 8–15 minutes — long enough to do justice to a story, short enough to finish over coffee.
We do not cover breaking news. We do not give medical, financial, or legal advice. We do not publish opinion columns. We publish narrative nonfiction rooted in primary sources.
Our Editorial Process
Every article on The Verified Post is:
- Researched from primary and authoritative secondary sources — archival press coverage, academic journals, biographies, census records, museum holdings, and established reference works. Sources are listed at the end of each article.
- Written and edited by our editorial team, who verify every claim against original sources. Like most modern newsrooms, we use a range of digital tools — search databases, reference systems, and AI-assisted drafting — as part of our research and writing process. Every published sentence is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor.
- Held to a single standard of accuracy. A human is responsible for every cited claim and every editorial judgment. Errors are our responsibility.
- Corrected publicly when we get something wrong. See our corrections policy below.
Who Writes The Verified Post
The Verified Post is an independent publication written by a small editorial team: Akber Bukhari, senior writer, and Rei Lantion, editor and feature writer. Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it — an accountable byline rather than an anonymous one — and every piece is fact-checked against its original sources before publication. You can read more about each writer on their author page or connect with them on LinkedIn (Akber, Rei).
What We Don't Cover
To be useful to readers, we stay inside our lane. The Verified Post does not publish:
- Medical, health, nutritional, or psychological advice
- Financial, investment, tax, or legal advice
- Breaking news or live reporting
- Opinion or advocacy content
When a historical topic touches on medicine or finance, we report it as history — not as guidance for present-day decisions.
Corrections
If you find an error, email us with the article URL and the issue. We correct errors in-line, append a dated correction note at the top of the article, and log significant corrections on our corrections page.
How We're Funded
The Verified Post is supported by display advertising and a free reader newsletter. We occasionally include affiliate links to books or products directly relevant to the article; these are marked clearly at the point of use, and we earn a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. Editorial decisions are never influenced by advertisers or affiliate partners.
