Our merger with Mother Jones gives us a rare opportunity: By combining our audience (and expanding our staff size all the way to 116!), we dramatically increase our potential to create real-world impact.
Now our investigations reach millions of people each month through in-depth reporting across video, radio, podcast, social media, the web and print. More than ever before, our journalism has the power to help make a better world – from new laws and policies to civil and criminal investigations, better-informed conversations and community-driven solutions.
Amid all the exciting changes to our nonprofit newsroom, our bottom line remains the same: the public interest. We devote months, sometimes years, to digging for the truth about stories that would otherwise stay hidden and sharing it far and wide with people who can create change.
Unlike corporate media, we don’t answer to shareholders looking to make a profit. We can give everything we’ve got to this work, because it’s our mission – investigative journalism that doesn’t back down and doesn’t distort the truth.
And there’s one other crucial thing that our merger doesn’t change: It’s still supporters like you who make our work possible. It’s readers and listeners who power our nonprofit newsroom.
