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.
