Friend,
Less than 30 seconds per day: that’s the average amount of daily airtime that the corporate TV news industry devoted to covering the climate emergency in 2020.
The U.S. is facing what could be the worst drought in 1,200 years, and yet the corporate news industry is ignoring the climate emergency and letting the fossil fuel industry get away with killing our planet.
It’s utterly deplorable.
As long as Common Dreams is alive and publishing, we will cover the climate emergency as the existential crisis that it is. Every day. Every week.
And unlike corporate media, we’re independent, nonprofit, and 100% reader-supported. We don’t allow fossil fuel companies—or any other corporate interests—to advertise on our website. Which means we rely solely on the support of readers like you to break news and cover what the corporate media would rather keep hidden.
With the corporate media turning a blind eye, our reporting on the climate emergency has never been more critical. Will you chip in today and help reach our Mid-Year Campaign goal of $75,000?
The corporate news industry’s refusal to cover the climate emergency is especially dangerous while the right wing steps up its coordinated disinformation campaigns meant to smear progressive efforts to tackle the climate crisis.
Will you chip in today to power our efforts to cover the climate emergency and the other pressing social, economic, and political crises of our time?
