| Hey, | Before I started Upward News, I relied on news from Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and random email newsletters. You name it, I followed it. | But here's the truth: none of it was good enough. Despite claiming to challenge the mainstream media, these sources were low-quality, poorly vetted, and often lacked real insight. It was frustrating. That's why I left my tech job and founded Upward News. | In the so-called "alternative media" world, most content is low-effort, full of ads, clickbait headlines, or even purchased email lists. It's garbage, and trust me, my inbox still gets flooded with this junk. | When I hire new team members, I tell them we have one goal: to inform our readers. | | That means heavy research, exposing where the mainstream is dishonest, and delivering insights that keep you ahead of the game. We don't hold back — even if it means challenging the party line. | But above all, quality comes first. I push my team hard because we want every piece of content we publish to be something we stand by — something you can trust. If it doesn't meet our standards, we don't publish it. | This commitment to quality isn't easy. We throw away articles that don't make the cut. We argue and debate topics constantly. And it's been harder to build a business because we're not here to make a quick buck — we're here to give you real, valuable information. | Our mission is simple: keep you informed. Everything else? We just want to make enough to break even. | That's where we need your help. | If you find value in what we're doing, we need you to become a paid member. Your support keeps the lights on, ensures we can continue producing the quality journalism you rely on, and helps us stick to our principles. | In return, you'll get an ad-free experience and access to our premium suite of newsletters, where our best reporting is delivered straight to you. | | Thanks for helping us keep the lights on — we couldn't do it without you. | Best, | Ari | |
