A plane crash. A political scandal. A terrorist attack. Every day journalists report on what happens in the world. And we rely on their accounts to be objective and truthful.

Words found in newspapers describing the 'murder' of Boris Nemtsov
However, a journalists’ job is riddled with making choices. Which aspects to focus on? Whom to cite? Which words to describe and which images to depict?
Indeed, one event can be retold in millions of ways. What if you could read all of these perspectives at once? TRUE STORY? is an application that does that for you, by collecting coverage from different news media on single recent events.
It fabricates words and images used to describe the event from different news sources into new headlines. Swipe, and a new story is generated. Is there one valid version, or an endless parade of subjective ones? Is there such a thing as a TRUE STORY?
This project is in full development. Curious?
