Why we don't have a paywall











                       Dear Vladimir,


                        Today, Earth Island Journal launches its year-end 
member drive. As a nonprofit newsroom, reader contributions help us do the 
hard work of finding and reporting stories — and making those stories 
available to everyone, without a paywall.


                        Yes! I'll support the Green Journalism Fund.

                       Why doesn’t Earth Island Journal have a paywall? 
Because we believe access to high-quality information is key to fighting the 
climate crisis and protecting our shared planet.


                        We don’t believe in hiding away well-sourced, deeply 
reported journalism in a place where only a privileged few can access it. 
That doesn’t serve the public good. People deserve to know who pollutes 
their waterways, who spews toxic particles into their air, and who endangers 
local wildlife. People deserve the truth and access to reliable information.


                        Unfortunately, social media and our public airwaves 
are flooded with free clickbait and misinformation, often written by PR 
professionals and, increasingly, AI.


                        When corporate spin crowds out factual, 
evidence-based information, people lose trust in our institutions and in 
each other.


                        Turning the news into a luxury product that can only 
be accessed behind paywalls hasn’t protected journalism jobs either. This 
year, layoffs once again hit big names like the Los Angeles Times, CNN, and 
PBS. Cuts also came for small but impactful newsrooms like Teen Vogue.



                        Make your gift to the Green Journalism Fund.

                       Thanks to your donations, Earth Island Journal 
produces investigative journalism, commentary, and inspiring stories of 
grassroots movements without being influenced by big corporations.


                        Some days it feels like a miracle that our small 
newsroom has been covering grassroots environmental movements for more than 
40 years. We have managed to keep at it because of generous donations from 
readers like you. The impact of your gift is real.


                        Thank you for your support.


                        Regards,






                        Maureen Nandini Mitra
