Protecting Autonomous journalism: Why Your Support Matters Now
The landscape of news and facts is undergoing a profound shift, and the future of independent journalism hangs in the balance. Recent years have presented significant challenges, marked by escalating attacks on press freedom, increasing corporate consolidation within the media industry, and a worsening financial climate for organizations dedicated to progressive reporting.
This isn’t just about news; itS about safeguarding our democracy. A well-informed public is the cornerstone of a functioning society, and independent journalism plays a vital role in holding power accountable and providing diverse perspectives.
