James O’Keefe Says New Media Group Will ‘Decentralize Journalism’ After Project Veritas Split

In a recent interview with Ben Shapiro on “The Sunday Special,” former CEO of Project Veritas, James O’Keefe, discussed his plans to decentralize journalism by outsourcing undercover operations equipped with hidden cameras, providing citizens with crucial information about various organizations and agencies. O’Keefe believes that if people knew what was going on in these areas, they would be rightfully outraged and make better-informed decisions.

O’Keefe stepped down from Project Veritas last month after a conflict with the board of directors over allegations of misspending donor money and breaking the organization’s bylaws. He launched the O’Keefe Media Group soon after, promising to be surrounded by the most elite journalists in the world. The mission of the new media group involves getting little cameras into the hands of thousands of people and helping everyone be a journalist.

According to O’Keefe, the goal of the media group is to teach people about journalism ethics, technology, and recording laws in various states. The information will all be open-sourced on the website, which is not yet available to the public. Under O’Keefe’s leadership, Project Veritas broke several significant stories through sting operations and whistleblowers, a style of journalism that critics have called deceptive. However, O’Keefe countered that much of the criticism is due to politics and power rather than journalistic ethics.

O’Keefe’s vision of teaching people how to become their journalists could change the world, and he hopes the new media group accomplishes just that.
