Support our early career journalists

Hello, Reformers, 

Madison McVan was recently named the “Young Journalist of the Year” by the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists, with the judges saying she “consistently delivered reporting that was revelatory, insightful, and grounded in the experiences of everyday people with … a rare combination of curiosity, analytical rigor, and compassion.”

This is not just good fortune: We look for early career journalists of great promise and ambition like Madi who are destined to do great work once they’ve imbibed a little Reformer moxie. 

So when you give to the Reformer, you’re supporting the important work published every day by Madi and her outstanding early career colleagues Michelle Griffith, Alyssa Chen and Nicole Neri, which means you’re nurturing the future of tough-minded journalism and clear-eyed photography that holds power to account. 

And if you really want to help us, sign up for a recurring donation to help us plan for the future.

If you can’t give today, that’s OK! Please just keep reading and sharing our work and try to think of a few family or friends who might like our daily or weekly newsletter and send them this link. 

Thanks so much for your support!
