| There are the wars … and then there are the information wars. The hacked accounts. The doctored photos. The deepfakes. The battles over casualty figures and targets. The surging conspiracies.
In a time of raging information wars, the Guardian doesn’t treat news and information as a weapon of war. Instead, it treats it as a right that all people deserve.
These principles are why I urge you to support the Guardian. As climate breakdown intersects with surging authoritarianism and spiraling militarism, the need to protect and strengthen this unique international media organization feels more urgent than at any point in my lifetime.
So much of our media landscape is bisected by paywalls, but the Guardian has a different and, in my opinion, very special model. It isn’t owned by a corporation or by a billionaire, and it provides its journalism to anyone in the world who wants and needs it as a right.
There is only one reason the Guardian can do that: you – the commitment of supporters who fund its journalism. You make it possible to meet information wars with information rights.
As 2024 begins, please consider supporting the Guardian from just $1. Thank you. | 
Do people around the world think of us as merely news?
