In just three years, The-Voice.com has established an ironclad reputation for high-impact public sector investigative journalism, documenting systemic patterns that benefit a select few at the absolute expense of the many. Adhering strictly to the standards of the Google News Initiative (GNI), The Voice focuses exclusively on document-based reporting — utilizing raw public records, forensic audits, and court filings to expose institutional malfeasance without the sanitized filter of political press releases or curated corporate interviews. Reflecting this commitment to data-driven truth, Google recently selected The Voice from a competitive worldwide pool of applicants for an advanced master class in its deep-dive investigative tool for journalists, Pinpoint.
Matthew Hallock, Principal and Creative Director of The-Voice.com, is a veteran communicator, publisher, and civic advocate dedicated to not only conveying unvarnished truths to the public but actively engaging as an activist journalist to effect real community change. In an unprecedented move to audit the system from the inside, he has run several times as a formal candidate for public office to write a definitive investigative series exposing deep-seated vulnerabilities within Connecticut’s electoral infrastructure. His manuscript, The Fixing of Connecticut, systematically documents a 75-year-old system of insular governance that permeates all 169 towns in the state.
Previously, Hallock synthesized his extensive experience as a Creative Director at top-tier New York City advertising agencies with academic appointments teaching at Yale University and the School of Visual Arts (SVA) to pioneer an innovative, integrated agency model. Known colloquially as The Ad House, this immersive educational residency provided intensive, advanced training to scores of apprentices launching into the global media industry.
Today, alongside its frontline investigative journalism, The Voice continues to deploy elite market positioning and strategic consulting for both Fortune 500 corporations and local enterprises. Operating from the global headquarters of FenceFlags.us in Fairfield, Connecticut, Hallock collaborates daily with Solar the Spokesdog — a Bichon Frise who serves as the visual ambassador for all plants and animals, including people, championing environmental conservation, local municipal control, and complete grid independence.
