It’s designed to serve corporate power—and that’s exactly what it does so well.

Friend,

Climate news brought to you by Chevron. Economic news sponsored by Bank of America. Coverage of the war in Ukraine paid for by Lockheed Martin.

That’s the business model of corporate media. It’s not a broken system, but rather a media model designed to serve corporate power—not challenge it.

Common Dreams isn’t owned by anyone. We’re funded by readers—the very best and smartest kind of readers, we might add—and that’s what makes all the difference.

But here’s the catch: Our model only works if readers actually donate, and right now we’re sorely behind where we need to be for a successful Fall Campaign.

So if you believe in independent nonprofit journalism, now is your moment to make a real difference. We know we’ll never have as much funding as those corporate outlets—but with your help, we can continue to prove that this model works.
