About Us
ABOUT OUTSIDER MEDIA FOUNDATION
The Outsider Media Foundation is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization based in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Formally established in 2023, the Foundation aims to enhance public participation in and understanding of political activity through the media and other organizations, particularly in areas underrepresented by traditional news sources.
Our goal is to report on the activities of influential political figures and organizations overlooked by larger media platforms, and the impact of their influence. We also aim to highlight how these groups interact with our institutions. By collaborating with grassroots journalists, conducting interviews, and amplifying pre-existing stories, we provide individuals with valuable information on the world of third parties and independent movements.
We believe that offering a more detailed picture of our political culture and campaign laws benefits everyone, and we invite you to follow our work!
