As the United States teeters on the brink of chaos, one constant remains: the power of honest journalism. In these dark times, it's more crucial than ever for newsrooms to stand strong by their core values.
At its heart, a news organization is more than just a platform for reporting – it's a reflection of its guiding principles. The Guardian, with its commitment to factual storytelling free from corporate and political influence, serves as a beacon of moral clarity in an increasingly murky media landscape.
It's the stories that our reporters choose to tell, rather than those we're forced to report on by circumstance or commercial pressure, that truly reveal our values. We've dedicated ourselves to shedding light on the outrages and atrocities perpetrated by those in power, while also amplifying the voices of those fighting for justice and equality.
This work is urgent, but it's not alone. We've often overlooked the quiet heroes who are working tirelessly to build a better future – from grassroots activists pushing for civil rights and social justice to ordinary people demanding accountability from their leaders. That's why we're launching our new movements reporting team, dedicated to bringing these stories to light.
As Giving Tuesday approaches, we're counting on your support to keep our reporting alive. Your contribution will help us fund our work and ensure that our journalists can continue to shine a light on the darkness, inspiring hope in those who need it most.
Make no mistake: we know not everyone can afford to donate today. But what's less known is that our work would never be possible without your support. By choosing to subscribe or contribute, you're not just giving us a financial lifeline – you're joining a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the power of journalism to drive change.
So as we move forward into 2026, know that you are part of something special. You are part of a movement that is fighting for a better future, and our reporting is just one small part of it.
