How it works and what’s inside
Made for
For people witnessing events and audiences who want to understand what someone at the scene is seeing. The product's starting point is a perspective with a place behind it.
A major event looks different from the place where it is happening. Breakr.live explores citizen journalism built around firsthand reporting, bringing witnesses and audiences closer without reducing every story to a distant summary.
How it works
Workflow
Begin at the scene
The platform's direction gives firsthand witnesses a place in the reporting experience, making proximity to an event part of how a story begins.
Bring the account into focus
Connect what is being reported with the witness's perspective. A useful account needs context as well as the immediacy of being there.
Make room for a wider view
Let audiences encounter voices from the scene alongside their own questions, recognizing that one firsthand perspective is still only part of a larger story.
