Hey John, it’s Tara McGowan, the Founder and Publisher of COURIER.
We’re hours away from our second end-of-month fundraising deadline of 2024, and if we reach our goal of 1,000 donations before midnight, we’ll have our biggest fundraising month ever.
November’s election is paramount to protecting our democracy, and we’re doing our part by fighting misinformation with quality local coverage. Here’s how we do it:
1. Our local newsrooms in 10 battleground states will always call out right-wing misinformation and tell the truth. There are no “alternative facts” or “both sides.” There is the truth, and we will hold right-wing bad actors accountable for their lies.
2. Our talented journalists restore trust in the news media by covering local stories that matter most in the communities we serve. The best antidote to bad information is good information. We will never compromise our values just to drive clicks and profit.
3. We will make our news coverage freely available in the online spaces where people actually spend their time. Social media news feeds. Inboxes. Search engines. By bringing quality journalism to the online spaces where misinformation is thriving, our reporting dismantles lies and conspiracy theories before they can spread.
And our model is research-backed, so we know it works.
Thanks so much,
Tara McGowan

John,
We’re approaching the end of February, and the urgency of 2024 is kicking in – Trump has all but locked up the Republican nomination, news layoffs have doubled in the new year, and the mainstream media still has no clue how to cover the presidential race.
Long story short, communities in battleground states nationwide need COURIER’s trustworthy, local news now more than ever.
COURIER is ready to protect our democracy by providing free, factual local news to the communities that need it most. But we can’t do it without your help.
We checked our records and we’ve received 959 donations so far this month. We need just 41 more donations before midnight tomorrow to reach our goal.
Your support keeps our ten battleground newsrooms running and expands our reach to more communities where election lies and conspiracy theories thrive. Our incredible teams of journalists correct right-wing misinformation in real-time while covering the issues that matter most to the communities we serve.
The best part is that our news is free to anyone who needs it. Our innovative model to protect democracy takes a lot of resources, and we rely on supporters like you so we keep the lights on.
