«LIPA» is a media outlet focused on major forgeries and fakes.
We dissect real-life stories from art, science, history, and popular culture—showing how the deception arose, why people believed it, and ultimately what led to the truth being uncovered.
Data Sources
To find stories and prepare materials, «LIPA» utilizes several levels of sources. The automated system can locate potential cases in media and open databases, but key facts are verified using primary and institutional sources.
Priority Sources
Primary documents and museum/scientific databases → academic publications → major media outlets → niche media → social networks.
The lower a source is on this chain, the less it is used as evidence and the more it is used as a signal to find a new story.
