Media.com is building the trust layer the internet has been missing. The prioritization of engagement by social networks has led to the erosion of confidence in information. This has created a significant opportunity for an internet technology company like Media.com to address society’s thirst for trusted information sources.
Media.com’s approach to verified sources and authenticated content sets a new standard for trusted information on the internet. We are building an online destination where short-form and long-form content including videos, articles, podcasts, files, posts and other forms of media can live in a trusted ecosystem.

Media.com is an internet technology company whose mission is to restore trust online.
We have built the world's first verified media network which allows verified individuals and organizations to publish authenticated content, setting a new standard in online trust.
Media.com enables content creators to create and monetize trusted content.
First, we verify the identity of every user on the network using banking-grade verification technology.
Second, we authenticate all content published on the network using Content Credentials - a new internet standard for trusted content introduced by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (www.c2pa.org).
This means content posted on Media.com can be traced to its source, setting a new standard in accountability and information integrity.
We are the world's first fully verified online network and will be the first online network to fully integrate content provenance data into each piece of content published on the network.
Media Dot Com, Inc. was founded in 2023, however its origins date back a few years prior.
Shortly after conceiving the idea to create internet infrastructure for trusted information, we assembled a development team and secured the best domain name we could find - 'Media.com' - to pursue the opportunity.
In late 2024, Media.com activated its verified media network in Beta mode. The network attracted verified users from 65+ countries with minimal promotional activity.
Media.com has also attracted 30,000+ waitlist users from 130+ countries.
In January 2025, Media.com began generating platform revenue.
We have since attracted the interest of leading global brands, public figures, political parties and other centers of influence interested in joining Media.com to share their authentic content.
Media.com uses banking-grade KYC (know-your-customer) technology to confirm the identity of individual contributors, and KYB (know-your-business) technology to confirm the identity of organizations.
The onboarding process can be completed in less than 2 minutes and requires a webcam or camera phone and an official form of identification.
Media.com can verify contributors from more than 200 countries using more than 5,000 different types of identity documents, making trusted information accessible to most of the global population.
Media.com operates in a competitive landscape that includes social platforms, publishing tools, and identity solutions. However, no single platform currently combines identity, content, and credibility in a unified way.
Our differentiation lies in building an integrated trust layer for media, rather than competing on distribution or engagement alone.
Media.com is in a category of its own - one which provides social network users and news publishers with access to trusted information that can be redistributed via their networks.
Media.com is focused on being the foundational layer of information - a place where trusted content starts. This foundational layer is critical to restoring online trust.
Media.com is for anyone who values trusted information.
Our initial focus is on journalists and other creators, including public figures, global brands and other individuals and organizations that value being able to publish from a trusted source.
Several macro trends make Media.com's initiatives timely and compelling:
Growing distrust in traditional and social media platforms
Rapid adoption of creator-driven and owned media channels
Increasing demand for transparency, verification, and brand control
Advancements in AI and identity infrastructure
Together, these shifts create a strong tailwind for a new category-defining platform.
Media.com's founder and CEO is James Mawhinney, an Australian entrepreneur with considerable digital, tech, media and investment banking experience. He experienced the harms first-hand arising from unverified social networks and media misinformation, leading him to the idea to create the world's first verified media network.
James' co-director is Michael Weiss, an internet pioneer who established Morpheus - one of the world's fastest growing file-sharing systems which accumulated over 200 million users within 12 months.
Media.com is advised by leading media and technology veterans including Larry Weber, founder of Weber Shandwick - once the world's largest communications company - and he is Founder & CEO of Racepoint Global.
Media.com has a global team across different business divisions including content moderation, customer success, business development, public relations and more.
Media.com has been a key sponsor of events including:
Media.com's mobile application is in its final stages of testing. Users will be accustom to the functionality and layout, enabling content to be posted, published and shared on the go.
