Orato World Media is a unique digital media platform specializing in first-person journalism. It publishes stories written and verified by journalists in the voice of the person who experienced the event. This approach differs from citizen journalism in that Orato's contributors adhere to traditional values and guidelines of responsible and ethical journalism. The platform aims to offer in-depth coverage of newsworthy events, going beyond headlines to provide a more meaningful connection between individuals worldwide.
Founded in the late 1990s by Canadian businessman Sam Yehia, Orato initially gained significant attention but struggled to find a sustainable revenue model. After a hiatus and considering the changing landscape of news media, Yehia relaunched Orato World Media as a non-profit venture in 2020. The relaunch coincided with the growing issues of misinformation and the public's dwindling trust in media, positioning Orato as a platform for truthful, verified storytelling.
Pamela Say was appointed as Chief Executive Officer in 2021. With her extensive experience in leading high-performance teams and executing multi-channel strategies, she plays a vital role in driving the company's growth and mission. The platform focuses on rebuilding trust in online media by publishing legitimate eyewitness stories verified by its editorial staff. Orato World Media has reached a global audience, with contributions from journalists across various continents.
Orato World Media's vision is to be a primary news source where individuals can share their experiences with a global audience, thus fostering a greater understanding of world events and issues. Its mission is to provide a platform for people worldwide to share their true experiences with qualified journalists, helping to combat fake news and establish verifiable truth in news dissemination.
