As Donald Trump begins his second term, independent media faces increasing pressure to uphold truth-telling amidst worsening conditions for journalism. Truthout emphasizes a commitment to community-first models, rejecting advertising and paywalls to ensure unrestricted access to information. This approach highlights the risks of corporate interests in journalism and insists on the need for media organizations to remain grounded in their principles for the sake of democracy. With the support of small donations from readers, Truthout aims to provide clear, unbiased reporting at a time when democracy is endangered by corporate and governmental intertwining.
We won't run ads or have a paywall because we believe that everyone should have access to information.
Now is a time for movement media-makers to double down on community-first models.
Our task is formidable, and it requires us to ground ourselves in our principles, remind ourselves of our utility.
Truthout and many of our peers are dedicating ourselves to following other paths - a commitment which feels vital.
