Corporate media isn't broken. It's working as designed.Help us make sure we have the resources to keep breaking the stories their system is designed to suppressCorporate media isn't just failing to cover the most important stories of our time. They're actively choosing not to. For decades, they've decided what counts as newsworthy, whose suffering deserves attention, and whose can be ignored. They haven't just been getting the story wrong—they've been getting it exactly right for the billionaires they actually serve. Drop Site exists because you rejected that deal. You’ve helped us reach over 670,000 subscribers and generate 21+ million monthly views. You raised over $320,000 to support evacuation and survival needs for Palestinian journalists forced to be displaced from Gaza City. You've shared our investigations, amplified our reporting, and proven that journalism built to serve readers—not corporations—doesn't just have a chance to compete. It can win. Every investigation we’ve published, every story we’ve broken, every real-world impact we’ve had has happened because readers funded it. Not billionaires. Not advertisers. Not corporate boards. Readers who decided this work was worth supporting. We’re asking you to become one of them. For less than $0.25 a day, you can make sure the stories the system is designed to suppress keep getting published. For the next 48 hours, we’re offering 20% off annual subscriptions. The Impact You’ve Made PossibleThe stories are there. The documents are there. The sources are there. The legacy outlets just won't publish them. We will. We’ve continued publishing landmark investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Israeli intelligence that major outlets have the documents for but won’t touch. And we partnered with Jmail.world—a volunteer-built Gmail clone that lets anyone browse Epstein’s emails as if logged into his inbox—because these files should be accessible to everyone, not filtered through newsrooms that have already decided what the story is and isn’t. Our investigation into Betar US—a far-right extremist group that’s been terrorizing Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish activists across New York—helped lead New York Attorney General Letitia James to effectively shut down their nonprofit operations in the state. Our reporting on Israeli military units has led to war crimes investigations in South Africa and Belgium, cited by international human rights organizations. This isn't commentary or clickbait headlines. This is what Drop Site was built to do—impactful journalism that forces power to answer for itself. And we’ve done all of it without a paywall because we believe that exposing abuses of power only matters if people can actually see the evidence. Why This Moment MattersHere’s our reality: Less than 3% of our 670,000+ readers are paid subscribers. Meanwhile, outlets that question the extent of Gaza’s famine and scrutinize the medical histories of starving children are getting nine-figure corporate deals and editorial control at major networks. We made a commitment from day one to do the opposite: no paywalls. Ever. That means someone living paycheck to paycheck can access the same reporting as anyone else. Our journalism isn’t just for people who can afford it—it’s for everyone who needs it. But that commitment comes with a tradeoff: we are completely dependent on readers like you stepping up with financial support. The Work ContinuesDrop Site tells the stories that are often and purposefully ignored. We investigate abuses of power instead of serving it. We expose propaganda instead of producing it. But we can only continue this work—and amplify it—with sustained reader support. While corporate media rewards silence with nine-figure deals, we’re here because you decided the truth was worth funding yourself. Power doesn’t give up power voluntarily. People force it to. But first, they have to see what’s actually happening. Drop Site will continue to make sure they do—because of our readers who make sure we can. Join the 16,000+ readers who are already supporting the journalism that holds power accountable. Help us make sure we won’t be silenced, and that our work continues to reach millions. With gratitude and determination, The Drop Site Team P.S. Not the subscription type? You can also support our work with a one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation here: donate.dropsitenews.com |
