The Citizens is a not-for-profit journalism organisation with a focus on democracy, data rights and disinformation. Experimental by design, we're finding new ways to hold power to account. Because the old ways are broken.
The Citizens was founded in 2020 by Pulitzer-nominated journalist Carole Cadwalladr in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal. We fight to hold political leaders, Big Tech executives, and disinformation superspreaders to account. Why? Because a toxic information space undermines our democratic rights and freedoms.
We are unlike any other. When you support The Citizens, you’re helping us produce original investigative journalism, take legal actions against powerful institutions, create content that demystifies how disinformation works and thrives, and gain access behind closed doors for intimate conversations with the leading voices in these fields.
