Popular Information - The future of Popular Information
The future of Popular InformationIn 2018, I launched Popular Information. Shortly thereafter, I took down the paywall, and the last 846 newsletters (!) have been freely available to everyone. Over the last six years, we've been able to produce journalism that rattles the cages of the powerful and creates change. Here are just a few examples of our impact:
You can read more about Popular Information's impact in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. To ensure Popular Information can continue to thrive without a paywall, we need 50 people to upgrade to a paid subscription in the next 24 hours. Your support will help keep Popular Information's groundbreaking accountability journalism accessible and maximize its influence. As a special incentive, for one day only, we are offering 20% off the subscription price. Popular Information won the 2020 Online Journalism Award for Excellence in Newsletters, a category that featured finalists from the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Axios. We also received a perfect rating (100/100) from NewsGaurd, an independent organization staffed with experienced journalists and editors who evaluated the accuracy, credibility, and transparency of our work. If the discounted cost of this newsletter ($4.80/month or $40/year) would create any financial strain, please stay on this free list. But, if you can afford it, please consider upgrading to paid now. "I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell." — Harry S. Truman |
