Hi Revealer,
I’m writing to you with an urgent request: Please help us take advantage of a generous board match that expires at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight. Your tax-deductible donation ([link removed]) —any amount that’s right for you—will go twice as far to support critical investigative reporting in 2025.
Double my impact ([link removed])
As you’re most likely aware, 2024 has been a very challenging year for the news business. Newsrooms have been decimated, and paywalls exclude a large portion of the public, while misinformation is plentiful and free.

But the Center for Investigative Reporting has bucked all those bleak trends. We do not have billionaires or oligarchs dictating our editorial strategy. We are a nonprofit, independent newsroom, and our only investors are listeners, readers, and viewers like you ([link removed]) who stick up for us and support our work. And in these challenging times, we intend to use the full measure of the independence that gives us.

We will be a check on those who abuse power, who weaponize disinformation and lies, and whose intention is to divide us and not unite us. An independent press is a pillar of our democracy, and it has been assaulted. We are a guardrail that must be strengthened. We will bear witness to tell the story of those who are not able to tell their own stories and to make sure we can't say we stood by and felt helpless. We are not helpless and without hope.

As a fan of Reveal, you are someone who values unflinching, truth-telling journalism. And you know that kind of journalism is only possible when people like you are willing to invest in it.

Time is running out for your donation to count for 2024. If you want to ensure more groundbreaking reporting, please donate before midnight tonight ([link removed]) and your gift will be doubled.

The Center for Investigative Reporting embodies the concept of journalism as a public service. Because of our reporting in 2024, innocent people were vindicated, legislation was introduced, laws were changed, and misinformation was combated. We dug deep on issues like threats to democracy, reproductive rights and health care, the criminal justice system, climate and sustainability, and so much more. Thank you for joining us to make the investigations—and their impact—possible.

I’m hoping you’ll take a moment today to stand up for independent journalism and make a gift ([link removed]) that will go twice as far. Our reporting has never been more critical to holding power to account.
Thank you,
Robert “Rosey” Rosenthal
CEO Emeritus
The Center for Investigative Reporting
