Hi there,

In this age of widespread misinformation and increased threats to press freedom, support for independent journalism is more important than ever. Media is essential to the functioning of a democratic society. We have extended our Giving NewsDay triple match through today ONLY, so you still have time to make 3x the impact. Please donate today, so we can keep delivering urgent reporting on the world’s most pressing issues. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!
