John — it’s May, and we’re less than six months away from Election Day.
Last month, we had record-breaking fundraising numbers. But this month, we’re way behind on our goal. We wanted to reach out and remind you what’s at stake right now.
In 2016, Donald Trump masterfully used cable news outlets like CNN and Fox News to draw attention to his campaign and spread dangerous misinformation.
Trump won because they put ratings and profit first, and our country hasn’t been the same.
We founded COURIER as a direct response to these failures. We believe that restoring public trust in journalism can strengthen our democracy. Building that trust starts with calling out misinformation and bringing quality, local news to the communities that need it most.
You can pitch in to power this critical work with a $15 contribution today.
At COURIER, we will never compromise the truth just for a quick buck. Here are our promises to you:
1. We 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. We will restore trust in journalism by covering local stories that matter most to 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 deliver our news to the online spaces where people spend their time. Social media newsfeeds. Inboxes. Search engines. By bringing quality journalism to the online spaces where misinformation is thriving, our reporting dismantles misinformation in real time before it can spread.
Right now, our newsrooms across ten battleground states are committed to reporting the facts on the issues that matter and calling out and combating misinformation wherever we see it. We don’t rely on a paywall or subscription model, so we can’t keep growing without your generous support.
