Our trustworthy reporting is more important than ever
Will you support The Xylom again?
Dear Reader,
A poll commissioned this year by Free Press, a media advocacy organization, found that 79% of Americans are concerned the information they see online is “fake, false or a deliberate attempt to confuse people.” As both digital journalists and Americans, we find this highly concerning.
Here at The Xylom, we work hard every day to earn and maintain the trust of our audience. We prize truth in reporting above all else, and we know that a strong democracy depends on our type of in-depth science and climate coverage.
We live in the same community as you. Your frustrations and questions are our frustrations and questions, and we want solutions and accountability as much as you do.
Newsrooms like ours, which are committed to truth, data, and answers, are imperative for a functioning democracy. We’re pleased to have delivered a year of difference-making reporting in 2024, and we’re looking forward to doing more of it in 2025. But, none of this work is possible without the ongoing support of our loyal community.
As a previous donor to The Xylom, you already know the value of our journalism, and I’m hoping you will consider supporting us again. If everyone receiving this email gave just $11, we would easily surpass $15,000 in matching funds secured.
Democracy needs news. News needs you. What do you say?
Also, through December 31, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. We hope we can count on you to help us take advantage of this great opportunity.
Thank you for continuing to believe in us!
With gratitude,
Alex Ip
Publisher and Editor,
The Xylom
