Independent Civic Journalism Costs Something
Nigeria has no shortage of media. It has a shortage of civic media — journalism that is not funded by government contracts, not shaped by advertiser interests, and not owned by political actors with stakes in what gets reported.
Conscience Letters is built on a different model: funded by readers who believe that accountability journalism is a public good — and that paying for it is an act of civic responsibility, not a commercial transaction.
Every reader who becomes a Supporter makes it possible to commission a piece, pay a writer fairly, spend two more weeks verifying a claim, and publish something that would otherwise never get written.
