If you missed the announcement six hours ago, The Correspondent (@The_Corres) met its $2.5 million goal and now has 43,000 members with one day left in its campaign. That means a new ad-free, member-funded, English-language newsroom will be born in 2019. https://t.co/27XK55HFd3

1/ (THREAD) I think we need more *ad-free* news media. In this thread I want to show why being ad free is not just a nice way to get rid of annoying banners, but also is crucial to rebuilding a relationship of trust with readers, viewers and listeners.

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

Journalism can be, needs to be, & has to be more human-centered. My friend @baratunde & his friends have started @the_corres to work towards that. If you can help them make that vision a reality. Take it from my other friend @harikondabolu! https://t.co/zS9U9wZUJZ #UnbreakingNews

[Baratunde @baratunde]

I was interested because @mollycrabapple told me about it and she’s right about most things. I joined because we need more experiments in journalism and storytelling, and I found the collaboration with members to be inspiring. Join here.
