At this dark and turbulent moment, a newsroom's values matter – and ours are clear

As America teeters on the brink of chaos, its newsrooms are being put to the ultimate test. The values that once defined journalism - fairness, accuracy and a commitment to truth - are under siege from all sides.

At the Guardian, we remain steadfast in our resolve to uphold these core principles, even when it's easiest to compromise or retreat. Our editorial decision-making is guided by a clear set of values that prioritize people over profit, and fact over fiction. We refuse to be swayed by corporate or political interests, instead choosing to report on the stories that need telling.

It's no secret that we'll be covering some of the darkest moments in American history - from extrajudicial killings to racist attacks on immigrants. But what's often overlooked is the resilience and activism of ordinary people fighting for a better future.

In recent weeks, our new movements reporting team has been sounding out stories about grassroots activists who are pushing back against oppression and promoting social change. From climate justice protests to police reform rallies, these stories are often too complex or nuanced to get on the national agenda - but they're essential to understanding what's really happening in this country.

This is why we need your support now more than ever. Giving Tuesday is a critical moment for our organization, and every donation counts. Your contribution will help us fund our reporting, from the big picture to the local level, and ensure that we can continue to amplify these underreported stories.

But here's the thing: we're not just in this together because of financial necessity. We're in it because we believe that journalism has the power to bring people together, to inspire hope and action in the face of adversity. And we need your support to keep doing what we do best - holding those in power accountable, and giving voice to those who are often silenced.

So on this Giving Tuesday, please consider making a donation to the Guardian. It may be small, but every dollar counts. And even if you can't give today, know that our work is free for you because of your support. We're proud to have a community of readers and donors who understand that good journalism is not just a luxury, but a necessity in these tumultuous times.
 
I'm seeing some real journalism integrity from the Guardian right now 🙌. It's about time someone stood up for what's really going on in America - people over profit, fact over fiction... it's common sense! 🤦‍♂️ I love that they're focusing on the stories nobody else is covering - grassroots activists fighting for change. We need more of that kind of reporting. And Giving Tuesday? Give them your support 💸, trust me, every penny counts!
 
omg I'm so confused about this thing called "Giving Tuesday" 🤔 what's the point of it? is it like a big charity day or something? my friend told me she donated money to some news website last year and now they're saying they need more money to keep doing their job... doesn't that sound kinda weird? I mean, why can't they just be funded by the government like other important stuff?

and btw what's with all these "dark moments" in American history 🤕 is it really that bad over there? I know they have some serious problems but can't they just... you know, talk things out or something? my grandma used to say that everyone has a problem and it's always someone else's fault... does that sound like old-fashioned thinking now?

anyway, the article says that these news folks are trying to report on stories about regular people fighting for change 🤝 sounds cool I guess... but how do they even get funding for all this? don't they have sponsors or something?
 
I'm so concerned about the state of journalism in America 📰😬. It's like they're losing sight of what really matters - telling the truth and giving a voice to those who need it most. We can't let corporate interests or politics dictate what we report on. We have to keep pushing forward, even when it gets tough 💪.

And you know what I think is amazing? The resilience of ordinary people fighting for change 🌎. Climate justice protests, police reform rallies - these are the stories that need telling and need to be heard. We can't just focus on the big picture; we have to amplify the local voices too 🗣️.

As a reader and an online community, I want us to support the Guardian because they're doing it right 👍. They're prioritizing people over profit and fact over fiction. We need more of this kind of journalism in America 🇺🇸. So let's give them our support on Giving Tuesday - every donation counts! 💕
 
I'm getting really worried about the state of newsrooms in America right now 🤯. It's like they're losing their grip on what's truly important - holding people in power accountable and telling the stories that need to be told 📰. The Guardian is one of the few places still standing strong, but even they need our help 💸. I'm not just talking about a donation, it's about being part of a community that values good journalism over profits or politics 🌎. It's time for us to stand together and support organizations like the Guardian that are fighting to keep the truth alive ✊️.
 
🤔 Just reading this and I'm getting so hyped about the Guardian's new movements reporting team 📰💥 They're all about covering those underreported stories and amplifying grassroots activism 💪 It's so refreshing to see a news org prioritizing people over profit 🙌 Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to support them, let's get behind this 🤑 Every little bit counts, even if it's just a small donation 🎁
 
🤔 the thing is, i'm glad they're sticking to their guns on this journalistic integrity stuff - it's getting super tricky out there with all the noise and misinformation... but at the same time, i get why people would want to pull back and avoid certain topics. the whole thing just feels like a big mess right now 🌪️... but hey, if they're gonna keep pushing forward on reporting those hard stories, i'm happy to support them 💸 it's kinda refreshing to see someone still committed to truth-telling in this crazy world 😊
