Independent, investigative journalism creates real, long-lasting change.
Support Independent Journalism
Independent, ethical journalism helps citizens understand society’s problems and develop meaningful solutions. Investigative reporting is critical to increasing public awareness and engagement, and provides a much-needed platform for voices that are under-represented in traditional media.
There is a desperate need to tell these stories. Traditional models of support for journalism are in decline. As a result, voices are going unheard and issues going under-reported as traditional media struggles to survive. Support for community-based journalism brings important issues to light in a way that creates dialogue and real change.
Our mission is to investigate and report on important issues impacting our local communities, give voice to the under-represented, and increase public awareness and engagement around these issues. These stories come to life in front of thousands, if not millions, of readers; we have a track record of independent, impactful, award-winning journalism.
