How we cut through the noise:
John,
From right-wing online disinformation to mainstream media who care more about profits than serving the public good, it’s no wonder that 185 million Americans don’t trust the news.
At Courier Newsroom, we’re doing something to fix that.
As the nation's largest left-leaning local news network, we run newsrooms in eight key battleground states (and counting) where disinformation is spreading the fastest. Every day, our talented journalists deliver factual news stories to readers who live in areas where honest, local news is hard to find (if it even exists). We take the responsibility of delivering good, factual information seriously and will never compromise the truth or our values in our work.
We fight disinformation by providing trustworthy local news to those who need it most.

Your support couldn’t come at a more critical time. Local newsrooms are disappearing, and right-wing misinformation and disinformation have taken their place. This pattern has become so pervasive that millions of Americans now believe in dangerous conspiracies about our democracy.
We’re fighting back with an innovative local news model that attacks right-wing propaganda and misinformation at its source. At Courier Newsroom:
- We focus on audiences without access to quality reporting who are susceptible to misleading or false information.
- We don’t chase profit, and we don’t use jargon or paywalls. We create meaningful, factual content that matters to the lives and communities of our readers.
- We target our news to the spaces where real people spend their time — on social media newsfeeds, across inboxes, and in search engines where people look for information online.
In other words, we’re doing something radically different to fight the spread of bad information. And the best part? Our research shows we’ve already started to increase civic participation among our audiences. We know our model works.
Right now, we’re mobilizing a community of founding donors who want to help fight disinformation in their local communities, and we’re hoping you’ll join us. Together, we can beat the right-wing propaganda machines, reclaim our voices in our local communities, and strengthen our democracy for good.
Please, chip in any amount that is meaningful to you and become a founding donor today. With your help, we can grow our network of left-leaning local newsrooms and fight back against dangerous lies and disinformation.
