John –

A new NBC poll of 2024 voters revealed a stark divide between those who voted for Kamala Harris and those who voted for Donald Trump.

According to the poll, Harris was +5 among voters who followed politics closely. But voters who didn’t follow politics closely went overwhelmingly for Trump—a +14 advantage.

We’ll explain why that matters and what we can do about it in a moment, but first, if you support COURIER’s mission to take on the right-wing media, can you chip in $25 now so we can keep expanding our reach?

The 2024 election results have made one thing clear: trust in legacy media like The New York Times and CNN has been eroding for decades, especially among independents and voters on the right.

While many on the left still look to these outlets for factual journalism, Trump and the MAGA right have long since filled that void with a sprawling, online media empire—Fox News, X, Tucker Carlson, and a vast network of podcasts and influencers—designed to spread fear, conspiracies, and disinformation.

These platforms target disengaged voters with a relentless drumbeat of lies, amplifying fringe ideas and reshaping public opinion.

And, in 2024, we saw that it works.

At COURIER, we’re fighting back and we need your help.

We were founded to provide a progressive counterweight to right-wing media. Our goal is to protect democracy by delivering factual, local reporting where voters need it most. Here’s how:

Targeting Key Battlegrounds: Our 11 state-based newsrooms are embedded in battleground states and ‘news deserts,’ where quality local news is often missing.
Delivering Critical Reporting: Our reporters tackle the issues that matter most to local communities, offering fact-based, values-driven reporting to correct right-wing misinformation and cut through the noise.
Meeting Voters Where They Are: We publish our stories on the platforms people actually use—social media feeds, podcasts, and email inboxes—countering right-wing propaganda head-on.

The results speak for themselves: with 4.5 million followers and nearly 2 billion social media impressions in the 90 days before Election Day, COURIER is reaching Americans where they are, providing the factual reporting they need to stay informed.

But with Trump’s allies amplifying propaganda and shaping the narrative, our work has never been more urgent.

The right isn’t slowing down, and neither can we.

COURIER’s reporting is always free to access—but that means we rely on grassroots supporters like you to keep the presses running. Can you chip in $25 now to help us expand our reach and fight back
