<P

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

style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia; FONT-SIZE: 16px"></P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia; FONT-SIZE: 16px">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. <B>People deserve the truth and access
to reliable information.</B></P>

<P

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

<P

corporate spin crowds out factual, evidence-based

<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia; FONT-SIZE: 16px">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
<I>Los Angeles Times</I>, CNN, and PBS. Cuts also came
for small but impactful newsrooms like <I>Teen
Vogue</I>.</P>
