Bringing you truly independent journalism on the subjects that shape our world, in just over a year Turning Point has brought new focus on some of the most critical humanitarian situations of our times and has kept our readers grounded in reality in a political landscape dominated by fake news.

While corporate media bows to intimidation and shirks the responsibility to confront power in the face of rising authoritarianism, Turning Point is here to keep you in the loop and up to date in these dangerous times.

Though we are a small publication, we publish the hard-hitting long form investigations and on the-ground reports from communities on the brink. Independent publications like Turning Point have picked up the slack to bring readers the attention to detail and depth we should find in magazines and newspapers who have disengaged from covering conflict.

Across the world, independent journalists confront more risks than ever before, while the large news outlets squander resources. There are fewer newsrooms, fewer international desks and more media companies putting investors over their duty to inform their audience.

On American campuses, students are being detained and persecuted for their views and young people are fighting back peacefully with positive energy and moving past outdated ways of thinking. Yet, there is hardly any media to speak of covering these crucial issues.

We aren’t here to revolutionize the media, we are here to do the job the media should be doing; To alert you of the dangers we all face, especially those millions of our fellow humans who live in conditions of war, displacement and occupation.

The risks of imprisonment, deportation, censorship and being killed are only part of the problem journalists must face, we also face the apathy of editorial boards afraid of controversy or reprisal. The news industry is under constant pressure to farm engagement through clickbait and outrage farming, at the expense of long-form reporting.

It has been a year of turmoil but where corporate outlets have stumbled or shied away, Turning Point’s journalists have stepped up and expanded our coverage across the world. 

In the past year we have reported extensively from the ground on the fall of the Assad regime, we have featured voices from Lebanon, Ukraine and China, and we have delved into the dark world of Elon Musk's money in American politics. 

Your donations will help us pay contributors and take photos, plug in SD cards and record interviews, so supporting our work is your hands-on way to help us break stories!. We are here to remind you that everywhere in the world, people are fighting power and when you support our work, you support our key mission of holding that power accountable. 

At Turning Point, we bring decades of collective reporting experience to events that unfold quickly day by day. We won’t be silent, but you can help us be louder. Independent Publications like Turning Point need your help. 

When you support Turning Point, you’re not just funding journalism. You are part of a growing collective of readers, writers, photographers, and organizers building something that does not answer to power. In the spirit of solidarity, we want to give something back.
