Hi, John, it's
Tara McGowan, Founder and Publisher of Courier Newsroom.

I recently spoke with Axios about our plans for 2024 and beyond — and
there’s a lot to be excited about!

Publisher, Tara McGowan detailing plans to expand this year and next year
in 2024.

I'll share more in a moment, but if you're short on time, [ [link removed] ]will you take
a second to pitch in $5 before tonight's end-of-month
deadline to help us open more newsrooms and bring reliable, fact-based
journalism to even more states?

America is facing a growing information crisis. Local news is collapsing
across the country — with more than 400 newspapers having shuttered since
2019. Many communities are now left without a reliable source of local
news. This means that critical issues like school and hospital board
meetings, or the impacts of floods, or droughts on residents are going
unreported.

The result is that right-wing disinformation is spreading like wildfire.
With the 2024 presidential cycle ramping up, we’re going to continue to
see a rise in new and targeted misinformation campaigns to influence
different communities and sow doubt and divisions in our democracy.

And that’s what makes our work at COURIER so important. Misinformation
spreads fastest when people don’t have easy access to the truth. The
information void is now being filled by right-wing groups spreading
misinformation and lies to advance their extreme partisan agenda.

COURIER is fighting back. Our sole mission is to neutralize misinformation
in the spaces it typically thrives, by delivering quality local reporting
to the communities that need it the most. Our network of newsrooms in nine
key battleground states doesn’t follow the same profit-driven playbook as
the mainstream media. That means we don’t hide our stories behind paywalls
or publish sensational stories to boost ad revenue.

As the 2024 election approaches, we’re in a unique position to combat the
spread of bad information with good information in as many states as
possible. That’s why we recently opened up a newsroom in Nevada—and it’s
why we plan on opening up two more newsrooms by the end of 2023.

But opening a newsroom isn’t easy and it certainly isn’t cheap. It takes
time and resources to hire journalists and build a network of readers.

And that's why I'm asking you: [ [link removed] ]Will you pitch in $5
before tonight's end-of-month fundraising deadline to expand COURIER's
reach and open more newsrooms this year?
