Company Profile

Company Description:

The 19th is an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting on gender, politics and policy.  Our goal is to empower those we serve — particularly women, women of color and the LGBTQ+ community — with the information, resources and community they need to be equal participants in our democracy. We will do this through:

• Free-to-consume and free-to-republish journalism that reimagines politics and policy coverage through a gender lens.
• Deep-dive, evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice, and reveals surprising and original stories on the issues that most deeply affect the lives of women and LGBTQ+ people, from health care to the economy.
• A digital platform for civil conversations and community building, and national events that bring our readers into direct contact with their elected officials.
• A newsroom that reflects the racial, ideological, socioeconomic and gender diversity of American voters, and is devoted to covering everyone with empathy.
