Gang,

I need your help.

The Daily Wire’s executive leadership team will be meeting in the New Year to finalize our plans for 2022, and our ability to expand one of our most important programs rests on how you respond to this email before December 31st.

Let me explain…

Gang, have you ever wondered why the legacy media is so effective at controlling the narrative?

It’s because legacy companies like the New York Times and Washington Post can afford to spend tens of millions of dollars to hire an army of investigative reporters. That means they are often the ones who get to frame the story to fit their agenda before we can ever get to it to expose the truth.

You might be wondering why media companies on the right don’t just hire their own army of investigative journalists. Why do we always seem to leave it to the Left to report on a story first?

The answer is simple: investigative reporting is incredibly expensive, and rarely profitable. It often takes weeks of dogged investigative work to write just one story, and most conservative media companies just don’t have the resources to do it.

But The Daily Wire has a secret weapon that other conservative companies do not: our amazing members. Our Daily Wire members provide us with crucial resources, and in 2021 we devoted some of those resources to breaking into investigative journalism.

The results speak for themselves. Earlier this year, after months of careful investigative work, Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak exposed the Loudoun County School District sexual assault scandal that shocked the nation. This story dominated the headlines in the weeks leading up to Glenn Youngkin’s surprise victory in the Virginia gubernatorial race. For the first time in a long time, conservatives were shaping the narrative instead of playing catch-up.

Investigative journalism doesn’t make us money, but it’s one of the most important things we are doing here at The Daily Wire.

And we’re just getting started.

Gang, our executive leadership team will be meeting soon to determine how many additional investigative journalists we can afford to hire in 2022.

Personally, I would like to see us triple the number of investigative journalists on our staff in 2022. Imagine the impact we could have!

Which is why I’m reaching out to you today.

Will you become a Daily Wire member today to give us the resources we need to build up a small army of investigative reporters in the New Year?

Every member who joins our ranks increases our capacity to conduct groundbreaking investigations to expose the Left and hold those in power to account.

Plainly put, we need your help to hire more investigative journalists. We need your help to compete with the legacy media. We need your help to expose the truth.

So won’t you become a Daily Wire member today? You can join for as little as $4/month.

We need to know that we can count on you in the New Year. Please respond today, or at least before the year is out, so we can finalize our plans for 2022.

If you’re tired of the dishonest legacy media controlling the narrative - if you’re tired of conservatives always playing catch-up and never being on the offensive - then join us in the fight to bring back real journalism on the right.

2022 is going to be a crucial year for our nation. We need honest, hard-hitting investigative reporting now more than ever.

Please join us today.

Thank you,

Ben Shapiro
