John,

The mainstream media is failing. By prioritizing profits and the illusion of “balance,” the public is losing trust in one of democracy’s most important institutions. To make matters worse, by chasing clicks and rushing to present “both sides of the story,” many media organizations consequently provide oxygen to right-wing bad actors and their efforts to spread misinformation.

It’s how Donald Trump became President. It’s how climate change denialism became mainstream. It’s how anti-vaccine propaganda spread to every corner of the Internet.

We could go on and on, but here’s the good news:

Courier was founded as a bold response to these failures. We don’t chase profit and will never compromise our values in our reporting.

Our mission is to bring reliable, trustworthy news to the communities that need it most. We call out misinformation in real time, by providing context and factual reporting in the spaces where misinformation thrives.

Currently, we’re operating in 10 states, but we want to keep expanding! By providing credible, fact-based coverage in battleground states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Nevada, we can keep voters in these key states informed as they head to the ballot box this year.

And we do it without paywalls or subscription fees in order to make our reporting as accessible as possible.

But running a growing network of newsrooms isn’t cheap, and without the revenue stream provided by subscription fees, we rely on contributions from donors like you to power our operations. In three days we’re approaching our first mid-month fundraising deadline of the year, so we’re reaching out to ask for your help.

If you want to support Courier's mission of providing accessible, reliable, honest journalism that's committed to combating misinformation, please consider pitching in anything you can to help us meet our goal of raising $13,000 by Tuesday night. We truly can't do it without you.
