Our story

Today’s media ecosystem is broken, with fact-checking abandoned by tech platforms and mainstream media influenced by fossil fuel interests.

Trust in traditional media is down… but trust in creator-journalists is on the rise.

It’s a tough gig though, and they need our help.

Impartial Institute was founded to support these creator-journalists — and increase the overall number of independent voices in our media. We provide financial assistance, media training, equipment and mentoring, to help make media careers more sustainable.

Online content is rife with misinformation and disinformation. Impartial Institute is fighting fake with facts by supporting reliable reporters
