Our mission
At Kource, we believe journalism is the bedrock of democracy—a vital force that holds power accountable, informs the public, and drives meaningful change. In a world where truth often fades into the shadows, we aim to be among those who shine a light on the pressing issues that demand attention and understanding.
Kource was born from a shared vision—a group of young journalists and filmmakers driven by the power of storytelling to spark change and uplift the communities we believe in. We set out to break free from the constraints mainstream media faces from corporate interests, forging an independent path where journalism could thrive on integrity, not influence. Kource wasn’t just founded; it was a challenge to the status quo.
As a not-for-profit, non-partisan, and independent organisation, we are unwavering to uncover truths, challenge injustice, and amplify voices too often silenced. We strive to craft stories that go beyond the surface—stories that resonate deeply, inspire boldly, and connect authentically in today’s rapidly evolving digital age.
Our mission is to create journalism that informs and transforms — stories that ignite reflection, inspire action, and encourage dialogue that paves the way for progress.
Our vision is to champion journalism that fuels meaningful conversations, upholds the ideals of justice, and strengthens the foundations of a fair and transparent society. For a future where truth flourishes and every story carries the power to inspire a better tomorrow.

Since Kource's inception, our team’s dedication to impactful journalism has earned us recognition on the global stage.
Our team has been selected for YSEALI programmes with other emerging Southeast Asian leaders, the prestigious Rainforest Investigations Network (RIN) Fellowship by Pulitzer Center, and the esteemed One World Media fellowship, standing alongside some of the world’s most promising storytellers.
We have also been selected for the ASEAN-ROK (Republic of Korea) Film Leaders Youth Incubator, Next New Wave Filmmaking workshop, and Students Opposing Slavery Summit.
In a mark of true distinction, we were invited by the U.S. Department of State to join the prestigious International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), a rare opportunity to engage with global thought leaders.
