Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, English, 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.
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.

Comments or sources that call into question the validity of trans identities will be removed.
Abortion and contraceptive access are considered human rights in this community. Sources that disagree may be removed.

Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.
Commenters who don’t read the posted article may receive temporary bans. This is a community for informed discussion.
Because it keeps coming up: This instance has no rules against calls to violence, please don’t report general wishes for violence. I will moderate direct implications of violence (i.e. I will shoot x person in the head) at my 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.]
