We’re days away from the presidential election, and the stakes are high. It’s as good a time as any to highlight Vox’s mission: We are here to give people information to help them shape their world. It’s hard to remember a time when that mission mattered more.
We are facing a crisis — and it’s not just one of a divided nation, but one of trust. Day by day, more people feel let down by their institutions, including the media. Despite the need for strong independent journalism, it is under attack, both from politicians and from billionaires who hold power.
Vox presents the complicated, nuanced sides of a debate and helps you make conclusions, but we never shy away from leading with courage and calling things as we see them. We do not hesitate to share conclusions that come out of our rigorous reporting. Today, with media organizations under attack and trust at a low point, we ask you to support us and help us create a future that will enable us to always have the independent journalism our country desperately needs.
Throughout this election year, Vox has been here serving you the kinds of stories that we don’t see elsewhere.
