Popular Information - The hard truth
The hard truthI'm not going to sugarcoat it: One of the reasons Trump won was that he was backed by a powerful right-wing media ecosystem that promoted his lies. In this election, this pro-Trump network was more potent than media outlets with an allegiance to the truth. What will the media landscape look like in 2026 or 2028? That's up to us. I believe Popular Information can play a role in changing the dynamic. With few resources, we have built a subscriber base of 385,000 readers. Our reach is not big enough yet. But it is a start. I have a bold plan to significantly expand the breadth and quantity of our reporting to meet this political moment. There is no time to waste, so we are going to hire a new reporter now to help execute this vision. Right now, this position will be temporary. But if 500 people upgrade to a paid subscription before the end of the year, we can make this new position permanent. If you value our work, there has never been a more critical time to upgrade than right now. As a special incentive, for the next 24 hours, we are offering 20% off the subscription price. Thank you for your readership and support. — Judd |
