Somebody had to say it. We just happen to have a big mouth.
RAGMOUTH is an independent journalism and documentary outlet with a healthy disrespect for authority, a taste for uncomfortable questions and absolutely no interest in playing nice for appearances.
From political hypocrisy and corporate misconduct to underground subcultures, strange communities, social taboos and the downright absurd, we go looking for stories worth making a noise about.
We believe journalism should be curious, confrontational, occasionally hilarious and always grounded in facts.
No corporate polish. No recycled press releases. No manufactured outrage.
Just original reporting, raw documentaries, sharp humour and a willingness to ask the questions everyone else avoids.
We take the journalism seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.
Independent. Irreverent. Unapologetic.
How we work
- Rude is fine. Wrong isn’t. We can be cheeky about the people we cover. We can’t be careless about the facts. Every claim we make is one we can stand up.
- We tell you the tone. Every story carries a label: Deadly serious, Dark humour, Absurd but true or Mischief. You should know whether to laugh before you start.
- We put what they said through the Spin Cycle. Claims from people in charge get a verdict on the dial, with our workings and sources. U-turns get dated, side by side.
- We show our receipts. Investigations carry numbered exhibits: where each came from and how far we’ve verified it. Anything we couldn’t confirm, we say so.
- We give a right of reply, and we keep count. Anyone we make allegations about gets a fair chance to answer before we publish. Their answer, or their silence, goes in the story and in No Comment.
- We ask your questions. Readers put questions in the Big Mouth; the most-seconded go to whoever they are for, and we publish what happens.
- We don’t drop it. When the headlines move on, we keep checking, and every report carries a dated record of what happened since.
- We protect sources. If someone needs to stay anonymous, they stay anonymous.
- We correct mistakes in the open. Spotted one? Tell us and we’ll fix it, with a dated note saying what changed.
