The Ghion Journal is an experiment of sorts. We are an attempt to build a media company that is not dependent on corporate donations (ad revenue) and instead is empowered by the people. We do this because it is our belief that a media company that takes money from corporate entities and governmental institutions ceases to be about journalism and instead become infomercials for the “elites”. It is hard to speak truth to power when you are getting paid by power. Ghion Journal is an audacious dream to reclaim media from the hands of moneyed interests and give a voice to the voiceless.
