Finding the Face Behind Fake Videos

A former anchor at a major news network has left the corporate world to launch her own series that flips the script on crime reporting.
Instead of sprawling TV documentaries, she’s cutting the narrative into bite‑size TikTok clips—each only a few minutes long—to reach younger viewers who are most vulnerable to online predation.

13‑Episode Hunt for the “Video Vendor”

The series follows a relentless hunt for the operator of a website that distributes non‑consensual sexual videos. Every clue is posted in rapid succession on TikTok, creating a real‑time cliffhanger that keeps audiences glued.

“We want the people who need this to see it,” she says, emphasizing accessibility over spectacle.

Celebrity Ally

A well‑known star who has personally endured similar violations joins the show. She shares her experience with deepfakes, providing a powerful testimony that humanizes the issue. Her own social media promotion amplifies reach, ensuring fans are drawn straight to the series.

Complementary Podcast

To dive deeper into the topic, she’s launching a weekly podcast that will run for four weeks starting next month. Each Thursday episode expands on the TikTok storylines, offering nuanced context and expert interviews.

Vision for Media Evolution

After a decade in mainstream broadcasting, she left to start her own company, believing that storytelling should thrive wherever audiences choose to consume it—be it short clips or long-form audio. Her approach reflects a broader trend: news outlets partnering with independent creators to deliver fresh, relevant perspectives.

Goal

By harnessing modern platforms, the project aims to expose a serious problem—non‑consensual video distribution—and educate viewers on the dangers of fake content, ultimately encouraging collective action to stop it.
