How TMN works
Tiny Mighty News (TMN) turns every user into a citizen journalist, without the need for formal training.
When a user witnesses something newsworthy in their community — an ICE arrest in the Somali community in Minnesota, a flash flood causing injuries in a mountain village in Pakistan, or a protest against inflation in a small town in Bangladesh — they open TMN and report it.
Here's what happens next:
The user has a conversation — by voice — with TMN's AI. The AI plays the role of a reporter. In the user's own language, it asks questions one by one to make sure nothing important is left out. It's interactive and easy, like talking to someone on the phone. Once the AI has everything it needs, it writes a proper news story from those answers — and shows it to the user.
After the user approves it, the story enters a behind-the-scenes verification process. Multiple AI models go to work checking the facts and accuracy of both the information and the accompanying media. If anything looks suspicious, the story is immediately flagged and sent to a human editor for review.
Once a story is cleared, it publishes with the user's byline. Other readers can then rate the story's accuracy and objectivity with a five-star system — adding one final layer of community accountability. The citizen journalist gets scored and awarded badges for good reporting.
