Yes! Media to fold

Yes! -  It is with deep heartbreak—yet overwhelming gratitude—that we share that YES! Media will sunset operations at the end of June 2025.

Of course, this is not the outcome any of us wanted. Over the past couple of years, we have explored every possible path to sustainability—restructuring, scaling back operations, reimagining our strategy, and calling on our beloved YES! Community and donors for support. But despite these efforts, the growing financial crisis in nonprofit journalism—combined with slowed philanthropic investment—has left us without a viable path forward.

We know how urgently independent media is needed. That’s what makes this decision so painful. For nearly 30 years, YES! has stood for something different: a bold, justice-driven, community-rooted vision of what media can be.
