Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage
with diverse, free news media from around the world. The rundown: 1. Posts
should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If
there’s a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an
archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and
reports are welcome. 2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit.
Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.] 3. No
misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially
destructive claims. 4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion. *Independent
journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not
controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use
your best judgement when posting. The most reliable, most independent news
organizations will have a solid fact-checking record, have diverse revenue
streams, not post ads, conduct their own investigations, and use multiple,
verified sources. *Current depends on whether new, publicly available
information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in
doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.] - For a

I made an “almost anything goes” community for all things journalism a short while ago. So, this is a more serious community that only posts news, reports and editorials from independent journalists and publications. A lot of news media is owned by the same big corps, so this is an effort to expose more diverse perspectives.
Being in North America means most of my media has a western bias, but I make an effort to seek out independent, quality publications from around the world to diversify the feed. Anyone can post to this community with articles from anywhere, as long as it fits the spirit of independent journalism.
