About
JellyDock Conflict Watch is a free, independent website that places reported conflict events on a world map. For each event it groups the reports published by different outlets, shows when and where each one appeared, and links to the original article.
What we do
- Collect headlines and links from news data services, official sources and publisher feeds that permit it.
- Group reports about the same event, and show how many independent outlets reported it.
- Show an event as a point on the map only when at least two independent outlets report it and the location is known at city level.
- Write short, neutral background pages for each country.
What we do not do
- We do not take sides. We do not show who launched an attack or from where; readers can judge that from the original reporting.
- We do not score or rank events, and we do not republish full articles or photos.
Who writes the content
Country background pages and guides are written and reviewed by our editors. Each country page shows the date it was last reviewed and the sources it is based on, and links to UN and humanitarian resources for further reading. Event pages are assembled automatically from published reports using fixed rules described in How the map works; editors review sensitive events and reader reports and can correct, merge or hide items.
Why we built it
News about wars is scattered across many outlets and often repeats a single unverified claim. We wanted one place where readers can see where conflicts are being reported, how many independent outlets agree, and read the original reports themselves — without graphic images, without one-sided claims about who attacked whom, and with plain-language background for each country.
Funding
The site is free to use and is supported by advertising and by readers who choose to support us. Neither advertisers nor supporters decide what we show, and ads are kept away from the map controls and video players.
