🤗 We’ve got something to ask you

Hello, hello!

I hope you’re having a wonderful day so far 🤗 There’s no newsletter today – we’re a teeny tiny team and occasionally we all have conflicts on the same day meaning we aren’t able to publish. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-introduce myself and The Know.

I co-founded The Know because I believe we need to engage with the news in a healthier way. I saw my dear friends deciding to avoid the news for their wellbeing, whilst also still wanting to be informed. So with 17 years of experience working in media under my belt, I thought it was high time people started feeling empowered by the news.

Enter The Know. Here, we do things differently! We prioritise your wellbeing over clicks, and believe everyone should have access to free and balanced journalism that’s mindful of your mental health. In fact, to date we’ve published over 960 free issues!

We try to cover the costs of paying our journalists a fair wage via sponsorship as much as we can, working only with companies that share our values. However, sometimes it’s not enough… So here comes the ask:

If The Know has helped you stay informed and hopeful, please consider helping us. Any amount you can spare is appreciated, but we’re suggesting a one-time donation of £7.30. This works out at 2p a day for the entire year. If you can’t donate we totally understand 💞, but we’d love for you to share the newsletter (with this link) and help others engage with the news in a healthier way.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. It’s hard for me to ask for help (I’m a Virgo!), but I’d rather ask and be completely transparent about how we keep the newsletter accessible to all. We’ll be back with your regularly scheduled news round-up tomorrow.
