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

The rundown:

1. 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.

2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]

3. No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.

4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply. This community does not consider trans identities to be political, comments or sources that call into question the validity of trans identities will be removed. Abortion and contraceptive access is a human right.

5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your 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.]
