That’s why we’re doing things differently.
John, 185 million Americans don’t trust the news… and we’re not surprised.
We’re going to explain where this distrust comes from and how Courier Newsroom is working hard to restore that trust by delivering no-nonsense, relevant local news. But before we get into that, will you chip in $5? We’re $7,500 away from our mid-month fundraising goal, and every dollar chipped in makes a big difference in these final 24 hours.
Okay, let’s get into it:
First, many mainstream media outlets (like Fox News) aren’t focused on informing the public — they’re focused on pushing right-wing propaganda and churning out huge profits.
Second, a lot of mainstream media outlets hide their most important, in-depth reporting content behind paywalls — effectively burying good journalism for a huge number of voters and news consumers.
Third, many mainstream media outlets rely solely on algorithms to reach their audience. The algorithms tend to push sensational stories and dangerous right-wing messaging full of fake news.
That’s why we do things differently. Courier Newsroom provides in-depth local reporting to audiences in ‘news deserts,’ who are targeted by bad actors spreading false and misleading information.
We serve communities in eight battleground states by delivering trustworthy journalism to the online spaces where people actually get their information. Will you support our vital work by chipping in $5 (or whatever you can afford) today?

John, we’re not Fox News. We don’t spread right-wing disinformation. In fact, we do the opposite: we push back against misleading and dishonest content in real time, correcting the record whenever and wherever we can.
Unlike mainstream media, we don’t chase profit. Because grassroots supporters like you fund our work, we’re free to report on important stories that truly matter to our readers.
Also unlike the mainstream media, we don’t keep our news stories behind paywalls — and we never, ever will.
Every donation (big or small!) allows us to keep our journalism free and available to everyone.
Our honest, original reporting relies on grassroots support from people like you. To keep the lights on in our existing newsrooms and expand into new states, we have to close this $7,500 gap in the next 24 hours. Please help us keep up this important work by contributing $5 today:
