About FactorDaily

FactorDaily is a nonprofit journalism lab that combines learning with doing. We are a tiny, slow, and human-centric journalism lab which focuses on a few topics as multi-year projects, staying away from news cycles. With our Fellowship Program, we help journalists and non-journalists tell stories that matter in society. Our formats of storytelling include physical spaces, audio, animation and text. We tell stories that travel from, or to, the communities.

The human-scale journalism we advocate for is not just about scale but depth and richness. 

In an era consumed by numbers and scale, we often forget that one person makes an audience. One single, attentive listener is not just a tick mark on the scale of readership but a meaningful connection. The “one-to-one” engagement ratio holds more value than we give it credit for. Our relentless pursuit of larger audiences and greater outreach distracts us from this very essence of journalism: the impact on the ‘one.’

At FactorDaily, we believe that the art of slowing down, of genuinely engaging with a story and its subjects, offers a narrative richness that the rapid-fire news cycle simply cannot replicate.

FactorDaily’s mission is to inspire a return to these roots, embracing the joys of one-on-one connections and, in turn, rejuvenating the true spirit of journalism. It’s about recognizing that, sometimes, tiny is indeed mighty, slow can be impactful and human-centric is valuable and indispensable in our shared pursuit of truth.
