This is not something we could have done without you, our readers.
Over the decades, ownership of the majority of U.S. media has declined from hundreds, to dozens, to now just a handful of companies—all major corporations. This is part of the reason why The Epoch Times was founded—to provide an independent voice and give readers more choice.
We believe it is because of our rapid growth, with more readers choosing The Epoch Times, that The New York Times spent eight months writing an article about us.
Nevertheless, as a result of the article, we have received an outpouring of support and a jump in new subscriptions.
Trial by Fire
This all-out attack is not new to us.For over 20 years, we’ve had the world’s largest communist regime, led by the Chinese Communist Party, try to crush our independent voice due to our commitment to freedom of the press and our unwavering commitment to telling the truth.
The CCP has arrested and tortured our staff members in China, and in the United States, our advertisers have been threatened by Chinese Embassy officials and our newspaper boxes have been vandalized. In Hong Kong, one of our printing presses was set on fire.
These adversities, however, have only strengthened our commitment to speaking the truth.
What this reveals is the difference between The Epoch Times and these other media organizations. We stand for honest and accurate journalism and have never wavered from reporting on the world’s largest communist regime.
For years now, the CCP has sought as a matter of state policy to subvert most major institutions in the West, including those in government and academia, as well as media organizations.
While we have worked for the past 20 years to expose the danger posed by the CCP and its efforts to subvert America, The New York Times and many other media organizations have been taking advertising money from Chinese state-owned media entities and staying silent on the most severe human rights violations in China, as well as the regime’s aggressive subversion of the United States.
We have never taken a penny from the CCP, and our independence is what makes us different. It is support from readers like you—who share our mission to restore independent and truthful journalism—that make this all possible.
Here’s what some of our readers have to say about us:
In order to continue this mission and grow the impact of our reporting to millions of Americans across the country, we need your support for our digital platform.
Our teams of reporters and editors around the world work around the clock to bring you the latest news as well as in-depth investigative reports.
And beyond the news, we continue our commitment to promoting and upholding traditional values, in an effort to revive what’s good, and especially to help educate our younger generations about these timeless principles.
Your support for our truthful journalism means a lot to us. Thank you for your support!
