The Citizens

The Citizens exists because technology has changed everything. It's a threat to democracy,

eroding our basic rights and undermining our ability to hold governments and powerful

corporations to account. Populists and demagogues have exploited social media platforms

and tools. We need to fight back. We are using our skills as journalists to bring innovation to

storytelling, accountability and public action.

The Citizens is fast, experimental and impactful. We respond to what the moment requires:

from inventing novel shadow governance models to bringing landmark litigation to blowing

up Twitter with our viral creative media. We are now developing long-form investigations and

journalism projects and expanding into podcasts and documentaries.
