Where Power Leaves A Paper Trail
Independent investigative journalism using AI-powered technology to expose fraud, waste, abuse, and civil rights violations across government. We monitor so you don't have to—holding power accountable 24/7.
Our Mission View Live DataLiberty Ledger Media combines traditional investigative journalism with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to provide comprehensive government accountability coverage across the Texarkana region—spanning both Texas and Arkansas.
Our AI-powered systems monitor government agendas, meeting minutes, budgets, contracts, law enforcement activities, court records, and campaign finance filings 24/7. When newsworthy items are detected—large no-bid contracts, conflicts of interest, civil rights violations, wasteful spending—our team investigates and publishes the truth.
We believe that democracy requires transparency, and transparency requires vigilance.
Jurisdictions Monitored
Government Sources Tracked
Automated Monitoring
Annual Government Spending Overseen
In the Texarkana region, zero dedicated accountability reporters exist to monitor local government. Yet over $500 million in taxpayer money is spent annually across four jurisdictions with minimal oversight.
When governments operate without scrutiny, fraud flourishes. Contracts are awarded to political allies. Civil rights are violated. Public money is wasted. And citizens are left in the dark.
We exist to shine light where others won't look.
Brandon Cowan, a U.S. Navy veteran who served two tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and one in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), founded Liberty Ledger Media from a conviction that civilian oversight is the cornerstone of democracy.
As a 100% disabled veteran who has seen firsthand the consequences when accountability fails, Brandon built Liberty Ledger to restore trust in government through relentless transparency and investigative journalism.
