We’re not exaggerating. If people don’t pay for it, journalism will die.

We wish we had better news to share, but here’s the deal: Tuesday is the final day of our critical April fundraising drive, and we’re still almost 800 donors short of the 3,000 new monthly donors we need to hit our goal.

Will you give $5 a month to help support the independent, nonprofit investigative journalism of The Intercept?

Everyone has heard about the layoffs and shutdowns sweeping through the news industry. In 2023, an average of 2.5 newspapers shut down every week.

Digital outlets like The Intercept have been especially hard hit as search engines and social media platforms have continued to deprioritize legitimate news sites in their search results and news feeds.

As a result, The Intercept has been forced to make difficult choices and cuts to our team. Every journalist we lose is a blow not just to The Intercept but democracy itself.

One of the keys to our long-term sustainability is reader support — especially the regular monthly donations that let us plan for the future. That’s why it’s so important that we meet our goal of 3,000 additional monthly donors by April 30, but we’re running out of time.
