The Lever - You need to check out Truthdig

This is an important request — so please read the whole email. 

One of our key reporting partners is Truthdig, an award-winning, reader-supported news outlet. Through resolute and steadfast investigative journalism, Truthdig delves beneath the headlines to uncover critical issues often overlooked by mainstream media. It reports the issues, their impact, and efforts toward positive change to foster meaningful progress.

Since 2005, Truthdig has courageously held the powerful to account, exposing truths that would otherwise remain hidden.

“Truthdig cuts through the noise to expose the issues that truly matter,” says Lever Managing Editor Joel Warner. “And just as important, Truthdig gives people hope by focusing on solutions and changemakers that can help us chart a better path forward.”

Truthdig is well known for original investigative journalism you won’t find anywhere else. “Inside West Virginia’s Chernobyl,” and its follow-up investigation, “A Slow-Rolling Disaster in Fracking Country,” broke the story of toxic radioactive contamination left behind by industrial negligence that continues to cause severe harm to Fairmont, West Virginia.

“At the Border in 2024” investigates the barriers at the border and what it’s like for the migrants who traverse this deadly landscape. 

Truthdig was among the earliest publications to advocate for Julian Assange and his defense of the First Amendment through its ongoing series, "The Persecution of Julian Assange," which has been regularly updated with new reports since 2012.
