About

The business of real news reporting is bloated and expensive, choking off opportunities for emerging journalists.

Fewer media organizations are hiring, and self-publishing platforms impose exploitative take-rates (Substack) and lack credibility (Medium, Paper).

Investigative tools and resources are monopolized by major organizations, centralizing access out of the reach of independent reporters.

A handful of politically driven media networks shape narratives, further fragmenting society and limiting coverage of a balanced truth.
