Some irony about the request at the bottom:
> Fund the journalism we need now
> We need you now more than ever. In turbulent times, it is crucial that reliable media remains available to everyone. That is why we depend on your support to keep our journalism accessible and independent. From economic uncertainty to political polarization, the challenges our society is facing today are too important for half-truths.

Anyway. I personally hope we see more orgs that are dedicated to niche topics. They do one thing and you go to them to read their one thing, like the institute of war for Ukraine (and iran/Iraq/Taiwan to lesser degrees).
Most news will find its way into the public consciousness if it’s important without journalism.
- tootie 3y ago"Most news will find its way into the public consciousness if it’s important without journalism." That seems wildly inaccurate. Rumors, misinformation and nonsense fly around faster and more freely than news. Citizen journalism has a place but they'd be nowhere without professional newsrooms with wide reach and deep resources.
