The 19th is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. We aim to empower women — particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media — with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. This summer, The 19th is launching a nonprofit news platform for women seeking news and information at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. The 19th aims to level the playing field with:

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 women’s lives, from health care to the economy

A newsroom that reflects the racial and socioeconomic diversity of American women and is devoted to covering all women with empathy

A digital platform for civil conversations and community building, and national events that bring our readers into direct contact with their elected officials
