Hi John,
I’m Tara McGowan, founder and publisher of COURIER, and I want to personally thank you for your recent support.
Because of you, January was our best grassroots fundraising month ever.
I also wanted to share how we’re putting your support to work, building the progressive media alternative America urgently needs right now—one that defends truth, counters far-right misinformation, and holds the new Trump administration accountable.
Your generosity empowers our teams of talented journalists to deliver fearless, factual reporting to millions of Americans—right in the online spaces where disinformation thrives. From national coverage to local newsrooms in 11 critical states, our platforms generated nearly 2 billion impressions during the last election. Now, with Trump back in office, COURIER is working day and night to ensure every community has access to the truth.
Here are just a few ways you're helping COURIER make an impact RIGHT NOW:
- We now reach over 5.6 million subscribers and achieve 251 million weekly impressions across online platforms.
- TikTok Leadership: In under 10 months, COURIER became the leading political news source on TikTok, with over 1.9 million followers and 80 million video views a week, helping us connect with young voters where they are.
- Award winning coverage: Our reporters have earned 42 state press awards, and our efforts to reach news-avoidant audiences have made COURIER a critical voice in defending democracy.
