Raqqa functions as the capital city of the IS's Caliphate (for now). A group of young people maintain the website Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, telling the world what is actually happening in Raqqa.

We cannot know how reliable the website is; but it is definitely a must read for anyone interested in what is happening in Syria. Plus the courage of those who do the website needs to be appreciated. Some are in Raqqa and obviously risk their lives on a daily basis trying to get the stories out.
