Support non-profit journalism you can trust.

Dear Friend of The Conversation, 

No matter how old you are, The Conversation aims to bring you cutting edge insight and expert analysis on the vital questions of the day. 

So we were delighted when our podcast The Conversation’s Curious Kids won Gold in the kids category of the prestigious British Podcast Awards recently. 

This latest prize win comes just weeks after Scam Factories, a series from our flagship global podcast The Conversation Weekly, won the Best Investigative Podcast Award at the Publisher Podcast Awards, where we also won Podcast Publisher of the Year.

It’s great to have our unique model – where we marry skilled editors with leading academics – recognised with journalism awards.  And compared to some of the competition, we do it all on a very tight budget.

That’s where you can come in. We need to produce more high quality audio and video if our work is to reach the growing numbers of people who turn to platforms like Youtube and TikTok for their news. 

But to scale up, we need the backing of readers like you. Will you chip in to help us? 

As a newsletter reader, you know the value of what we do.

In a world where media habits are changing fast and more and more paywalls are restricting people’s ability to read high quality journalism, our free-to-access model has never been more important. 

We know it helps people challenge the disinformation they may see on social media, and it helps policy makers the world over to make better decisions.  

Millions read our stories each month on our website. Many hundreds of thousands more read our stories in other newspapers and blogs, because we encourage them to republish our work for free. 

Now we want to reach many thousands more people – especially younger people – by sharing more of our work in podcasts and video formats too. 

You can help us build on our success by setting up a regular donation today.

Thank you,
