Introducing Dossier Liberté: documentary investigations with every citation verifiable
Cooperativa Liberté launches a new editorial imprint: Dossier Liberté. These are documentary investigation pieces built from verifiable public sources. Every quote is transcribed word for word, attributed with the honesty of flagging when it is a chained citation, and backed by a permanent snapshot on archive.org or archive.ph so it stays verifiable even if the original URL breaks in the future.
