The true story.

Acta Verum covers technology, science and culture: serious about rigor, easy to read. The idea is simple and hard: cover what matters, and show you where every claim comes from.

"Acta Diurna" was Ancient Rome's daily gazette, posted in the forum, the grandmother of every newspaper. We took that name and added verum, true. It is not modesty; it is the bar. In a world of recycled headlines and unsourced AI text, we do the opposite: research first, cite the primary source, then write.

What we cover

AI, security, privacy, tech, business, cars through a tech lens, science, games, geek culture, operating systems and wearables, across two editions: a Brazilian one in Portuguese and a global one in English.

What sets us apart

• Sources in plain sight. Every specific claim ships with its source. That is our contract with you.
• The Practical Box. On product pieces we say whether it is officially sold where you are, the local price and the US price when that matters.
• Hands-on when it counts. When we actually test something, we show the numbers. When we do not, we say so.

Who is behind it

Most pieces are bylined to the Newsroom. Opinion pieces carry the name Lucca Ortolan, as a technology writer, not as a doctor. That is why you will never see "Dr." here: the clinical identity stays separate from commercial content.
