John — 2024 is here, and the mainstream media is already failing to be the check our democracy needs against bad information and right-wing propaganda.

Despite inciting an insurrection, facing trial on a number of criminal charges, and repeatedly claiming he wants to be a “dictator on day one,” Donald Trump remains the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination.

And just as it did when Trump won in 2016, the media is giving Trump wall-to-wall coverage, failing to correct the firehose of misinformation that he spreads.

So John, given the circumstances, can we really be surprised that right-wing misinformation continues to spread far and wide?

That’s why we started Courier in the first place. Right now our journalists are reporting in our newsrooms across 10 battleground states, working tirelessly to correct bad information and provide high-quality, reliable journalism to communities they serve.

And none of our stories are locked behind subscription fees — every single one of our stories is free to read online. But in order to continue operating this way, we rely on the generous support of folks like you.

One of the best ways you can support Courier’s mission is by pitching in to our Sponsor a Newsroom Project:

John, you've been chosen to sponsor our local news teams! Your donation will go towards supporting each of our newsrooms located across 10 battleground states — including Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. And that's not all. Courier is making plans to open a newsroom in Texas ahead of the November election.
We set a mid-month fundraising goal of $7,500 and we're hoping to close the gap before midnight tonight, so can we count on you to chip in $5 now and help our newsrooms keep up the fight against bad information?

Our Sponsor a Newsroom Project is set to be a game-changer for our newsrooms as the presidential election takes off. Just last year, our journalists in states like Pennsylvania and Virginia have already shown what a powerful role trustworthy local reporting can have in their recent state elections.

The stakes will be even higher this November, and it's crucial that we can raise enough money to help outfit our newsrooms with the staff, technology, and resources they need.

So John, will you pitch in $5 so we can hit our $7,500 mid-month goal and keep bringing reliable, left-leaning journalism to communities that need it? [[link removed]]
