INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM, FUELED BY COFFEE AND TEA.

The Newsground's investigative reporting is funded by readers, not advertisers. We have tied impactful journalism to premium coffee and tea to provide a solution to the crisis in news funding. When you buy a bag of coffee or a pouch of tea, $8 to $9 goes directly to the newsroom.

The Newsground
What It Buys

Records requests, video and article editors, website maintenance, and the months of labor an investigation takes before a word is published.

No Corporate Owners

No owners, no venture capital. The reporting answers to readers because readers pay for it.

Free To Read

Every investigation stays paywall-free for everyone. Subscribers read it without the ads.

The Lineup

Fifteen coffee blends, five loose leaf teas, matcha, and mushroom coffee. Roasted to order, shipped free in the USA.
