Popular Information - The secret to creating change ⚡
The secret to creating change ⚡Over the last decade, the local news industry has been decimated, and many people now live in areas without any local news outlets. That's why Popular Information covers important stories in communities across the country. And we do not just break news; we create change. Here are a few examples of our impact:
Why does Popular Information's reporting have an outsized impact? We don't have a paywall. All of our reporting is freely available to everyone. But 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. 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 |
