That’s it, 2024 is almost here.
This year we produced our very first impact report [ [link removed] ], launched a brand new website (hey girl [ [link removed] ]), joined the Institute for Nonprofit News, and partnered with Bombshelltoe to launch the inaugural season of our Creative Capsule Residency [ [link removed] ].
Our first round of Creative Capsule residents reported from the ground [ [link removed] ] in Ukraine, developed a film [ [link removed] ] that explores geography and nuclear mourning in New Mexico, and imagined a fictional town [ [link removed] ] set in a speculative future, living in the aftermath of nuclear war.
We also produced not just one but two seasons of Things That Go Boom [ [link removed] ], and created and published our first two radio specials, giving us an hour of air time on prominent NPR stations like KUCR (Los Angeles), WGBH (Boston), and KUOW (Seattle).
And we grew our reporting exponentially. Inkstick now publishes an average of 8-10 reported pieces a month, up from 1-2 pieces a month in 2021.
Work like Taylor Barnes essential reporting on the US defense industry, Mohammed Ali’s dispatches from Gaza, which he continues to file under a pseudonym, and dispatches from Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, Lebanon, and the Marshall Islands. (You can check out some of our favorites here [ [link removed] ].)
We want to grow Inkstick into the go-to place for public interest reporting on our beat, becoming to global security what the Marshall Project is to mass incarceration or The Trace is to gun violence.
We are creating a space that will combat mis- and disinformation, increase transparency, and ultimately make the world a better place for having this knowledge and having it delivered by a broader and more diverse set of voices.
And we are doing it with your help.
Inkstick remains one of the few outlets focused on foreign policy and national security that does not accept money or influence from contractors or government entities that might color our views.
So we can’t do this without you.
2023 is almost over. If you’ve considered a donation this year, please don’t hesitate.
Every dollar makes a difference in the work that we can do.
