Hi John,

As a friend of KQED, you understand the role journalists play in upholding a democratic society. Community support empowers us to be thorough in our reporting across the wide-range of diverse perspectives and events happening every day.

We believe you and your loved ones deserve access to the truth about what’s happening in our local communities — with no paywall. KQED journalists report on everything from the developments and setbacks of affordable housing in California to the ripple effects of national policy decisions regarding climate change and more. The topics our journalists report on don’t cater to algorithms or clickbait trends; we seek to bring you the fact-checked reality of what’s happening around you.

That’s why I invite you to thank our KQED journalists in advance of World Press Freedom Day on May 3.

I’m sure you agree that freedom of the press and freedom of expression are fundamental rights. World Press Freedom Day reminds us why an independent press, without commercial or governmental influence, matters.

Because of member support, KQED journalists have the resources to pursue sharing the stories that shape our world. I hope you’ll take a moment to send them a message of thanks today.

Michael Isip
