Key Issues We Address

How Planet Can Help Us Address These Critical Issues

As independent journalists, our mission is to investigate and report on important issues with accuracy and integrity. To do this, we need access to reliable, objective, and up-to-date data—something satellite imagery provides.



After collaborating with international journalist networks, we have identified the Planet platform as the most optimal solution. To subscribe to Planet, we need your support.


We firmly believe that Planet’s advanced satellite imagery will be invaluable in achieving our goals. By supporting our subscription, you will help us combat disinformation and make verified information more accessible to the public.



Who We Are

We are a collective of media and journalism organizations based in Yerevan and Armenia’s regions, united under the InFact platform. This initiative, launched by Hetq in 2021, brings together partners committed to delivering fact-checked, substantiated, and objective information.


Our InFact Facebook group is where both platform members and the public can engage in fact-checking discussions. You can learn more by visiting the group or watching our video, which highlights our work from 2021-2023.


What Will Change with Planet in the Hands of Independent Journalists?


Planet’s imagery will enable us to conduct more precise investigations into these sensitive regions. Our findings can contribute to international reports and promote Armenia’s interests on global platforms. There’s also the potential for foreign media to use our research, broadening our reach.



More frequent and detailed reports on environmental risks in Armenia will help urge responsible action from the authorities. Our track record includes uncovering illegal constructions, which often lead to criminal investigations, thanks to our comprehensive reporting.



In our past reporting, we’ve highlighted the occupation of Artsakh, debunked false Azerbaijani narratives, and investigated illegal activities across Armenia using free satellite tools like Google Maps and Sentinel Hub. However, these tools are often outdated or lack the necessary resolution.

With Planet, we will have access to high-quality, up-to-date satellite imagery, enabling us to produce even more accurate, impactful journalism.
