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.
