About Us
Our name evokes our goal: to dig beneath the headlines. It also reflects our philosophy.
As an independent source for original and provocative reporting and commentary from a progressive point of view, Truthdig offers an outlet for original work and presents possibilities for lasting change. We publish everything from deeply sourced investigations to pointed arts critiques by exceptional journalists, featuring honest and credible reporting that meets the highest standards while focusing on the issues that matter most.
We don’t have to be stuck.
We believe there are always courageous, creative changemakers who can stand up to the status quo, battle inequities and create positive solutions to help us climb out of the deepest holes.
We believe in humanitarian values. When people come together armed with knowledge, they can share ideas that transform both community and policy.
