It’s time for a new plan.
John — America is stuck in a dangerous information crisis.
Fox News. Breitbart. Tucker Carlson. Powerful right-wing engines of misinformation are endlessly spreading lies and hate.
Here at Courier Newsroom, we’re fighting back by building the largest left-leaning network of local newsrooms in America.
But to go toe to toe with the likes of Fox News, we need your help. Right now, we’re working to raise $9,000 by April 15 to power our newsrooms and ramp up our fight against bad information. So we’re asking: will you chip in $5 now?
So, why is our media landscape so broken?
First, quality local newsrooms are disappearing.
Second, powerful right-wing interests are running mass disinformation campaigns 24/7 across every platform possible — sowing doubt, inflaming divisions, and causing political violence like we saw on January 6th.
If you feel like we’re at a perilous crossroads, you’re not alone.
On cable news, social media, and even the dark web, right-wing bad actors keep doubling down on propaganda and lies. Without viable alternatives, millions of Americans find themselves trapped in an echo chamber of bad information and fake news.
That’s where we come in.
At Courier Newsroom, we neutralize bad information by reporting factual, relevant local news stories, delivered directly to those who need it most.
We already have local newsrooms in 8 battleground states staffed by real journalists who live in the communities we serve, and we’re ready to expand our network.
To do that, we need your help to spread the word about the great reporting published by our talented team of journalists every day. We know that the best antidote to disinformation is more good information, and that’s what our newsrooms take pride in delivering at Courier Newsroom.
Now, here’s where you come in. We’re only able to offer free, accessible local news because grassroots supporters like you chip in what they can, when they can.
We’ve set a mid-month goal of raising $9,000 to grow our network of left-leaning local newsrooms and fight back against dangerous lies and disinformation. We’re running short on time though, so can we count on your $5 now to get us there?
