Nicolás Andrés B.
Researcher and Fact Checker. Documentary, Journalism, Geopolitics
I’m a bilingual researcher and fact checker with a background in political science and investigative journalism. Most of my work happens before anything gets published or filmed, finding what’s worth covering, checking every claim against the primary record, and handing writers and producers material they can trust. Right now I do research, outlining and fact checking for YouTube documentary teams, including deep dives on music, culture and martial arts history, plus clip and footage sourcing for video producers. I also edit and fact check a weekly healthcare blog and LinkedIn series for a B2B company. Before Upwork I covered organized crime, urban security and political participation in Colombian media, where getting the story right meant working with fragmented sources and public records. Later I spent 10 months writing daily news for an Australian trade publication. I hold a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated status, with five star reviews across documentary research, journalism and AI training work. I can help with: Documentary research, outlines and fact checking Clip, footage and archival research Editing and fact checking for blogs, newsletters and LinkedIn News, editorial and geopolitical writing in English and Spanish AI training and evaluation work in media and journalism I work independently and adapt to new subjects fast.
