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 and reports are
allowed. 2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag
if people need an account for access: [sign-in required.] 3. No misinformation
or bigotry. 4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply. 5. Tag
NSFW 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. *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 less serious news

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.
