Americans are tired of all the lies and division in our news.
John, 185 million Americans don’t trust the news… and CNN’s recent town hall for Donald Trump did nothing to help change that.
We will explain where this distrust comes from, how the mainstream media fails to address it, and how Courier Newsroom works hard to restore that trust by delivering no-nonsense, relevant local news. But before we get into that, will you chip in $5? Our work is driven by grassroots donations from folks like you.

A few weeks back, CNN held a televised town hall for Trump where Republican and undecided voters got to ask questions.
While the town hall had over 3.3 million viewers tune in to watch Trump peddle lies and misinformation about the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, CNN’s decision to give the former President a platform may have permanently injured the cable news giant’s brand.
The week following the town hall, CNN saw its lowest ratings in over seven years. While we don’t know precisely why CNN’s ratings dropped so drastically, it’s not hard to imagine audiences losing trust and tuning out.
Courier Newsroom was founded on the belief that voters are tired of mainstream media outlets giving a platform to bad actors like Trump just so they can pop a big rating.
That’s why we do things differently. Our reporters don’t spread bad information — instead, they call it out. They provide honest, accessible local news stories that are focused on the facts that viewers (and voters) need to know.
As the presidential race picks up, our reporters are ready to pick up the mainstream media’s slack and call misinformation out, so voters can make informed decisions when they head to the polls.
But for us to do that, we need the resources to spread our news stories far and wide. Will you chip in $5 now to power our work?

Thanks for being in this fight with us,
