In an effort to support reporters covering breaking news and conflict zones independently and without the support of the media outlets, Obscura facilitates this Emergency Reporting Commission launching the first edition with Lorenzo Meloni from Magnum Photos reporting from Ukraine.

Using the power of NFTs to document historical moments unfolding in real time, this is an opportunity to directly fund independent professionals that are committed to reporting from the field and stay connected to a supporting audience.

100% of the proceeds of the Emergency Reporting Commission are distributed amongst selected active photographers on the ground to support their efforts to document during moments of conflict.
