Ever wondered how some news outlets keep their content free and accessible to everyone?

One such organization is Inside Climate News (ICN), a nonprofit that focuses on climate and environmental journalism.

Unlike many media outlets, ICN does not charge for subscriptions or use paywalls. They also avoid cluttering their website with ads, ensuring a clean and accessible reading experience.

A Mission Beyond Publishing

ICN's mission goes beyond just publishing news. They share their stories with numerous media organizations across the country, especially those that cannot afford to cover environmental issues extensively. This collaborative approach helps spread vital information to a wider audience.

ICN has bureaus from coast to coast, reporting local stories and working with local newsrooms to co-publish articles.

A Legacy of Impact

Founded in 2007 by two individuals, ICN has grown to become the oldest and largest dedicated climate newsroom in the nation.

Their work is comprehensive, covering the complexity of climate issues, holding polluters accountable, and exposing environmental injustices. They also play a crucial role in debunking misinformation and scrutinizing potential solutions.

Funding the Future

The organization's work is funded by donations from readers. These contributions support their ongoing efforts to report on the biggest crisis facing our planet. By donating, readers can help ICN reach even more people and continue their vital work.
