Next News Network

Millions of people are abandoning cable and network news. They're seeking independent voices powered by the people - not mega corporations. They want investigations and reports on issues that really matter - not the latest garbage about the Kardashians. This is where you and the Next News Network come in. With over 55,000 YouTube subscribers, more than 4000 videos and 28+ million total views we're not new kids on the block. We're experts at independent - people powered - liberty driven news. Our reporting has been featured as the primary news in 3 major television markets and we've been cited by countless outlets across the world. The goal, "empower our viewers with actionable information, enabling each to pursue their own life, powered by liberty and happiness, just as our founders intended." We have the record, the tools and the talent to accomplish this. We simply need the ongoing funding. As a small independent news outlet we have tremendous flexibility to respond quickly when news breaks without the same bureaucratic editorial censorship that dinosaur networks have. And our needs are not the same as a massive network news channel - we don't have insane talent salaries and overhead to cover. We estimate that we can create compelling original news content generated by a small staff for about 10k per month. At one time we could rely on our partnership with YouTube to generate supplemental revenue. However <a href="http://bit.ly/youtube-has-become-increasingly-hostile" rel="nofollow">youtube has become increasingly hostile</a> to news and information related to geopolitical conflicts and controversial politics. At the end of June 2015 they swept our entire channel and de-monetized hundreds of our videos. Because of their new policy we lost a significant amount of monthly revenue. Now we want to partner with you through Patreon. And by partnering with you we hope to overcome our dependency on the YouTube Partnership Program and be more focused on producing content that you want to see. This empowers you to drive the content and allows us to be a truly independent and trusted source. And best of all, we won't be forced to self censor just to make a few YouTube bucks.
