Hey John — we’ll keep this short and sweet.
We just got out of a critical team meeting where we ran our monthly fundraising numbers and learned exactly where we’re at right now. Here’s the truth:
Here’s another truth for you (this one’s pretty ugly): There’s a LOT of money behind misinformation. Fox News and other bad actors, like Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, want us to be divided and misinformed. It’s in their best interest to crush small independent newsrooms like COURIER. It’s why they attack us, John.
We take it as a sign we’re doing our job, but it’s important that we have the resources we need to continue fighting back against misinformation and to be able to continue providing the truth through our reporting.
So think of it this way: an $8 contribution works out to a dollar for each of our eight local newsrooms and powers our work to strengthen our democracy and fight back against bad information.
Thanks so much,
The COURIER Team
