Introducing the Fourth Supporters network!
Dear friends and supporters,
When we started The Fourth, we had a simple mission — to produce compelling investigative journalism and social media content that drives social change.
Since our time at R.AGE, we’ve used impact-driven investigative journalism to create a more just society; one where people are empowered with the truth to hold those in power accountable, and to push for change.
But now we need your help. We want to build an independent not-for-profit media platform that’s funded by the people — not by political parties, billionaires, mega corporations, or advertisers — so we can report and investigate without fear or favour.
That’s why today, we are launching the Fourth Supporters, a membership programme where you can support our mission from as low as $2/month or $22/year. In return, you’ll get access to exclusive content, workshops & masterclasses, campaign updates, and the occasional Fourth merch.
We know it’s a long shot, ‘cos let’s face it — Malaysian media has rarely been truly free from the influence of the elites. But if you know our team and our community of supporters, you’d know we’ve made a habit of defying the odds.
Together, we can mark a new chapter for Malaysian journalism and democracy, and it all starts with you.
WHY YOU SHOULD BE A FOURTH SUPPORTER:
INVESTIGATIONS: You will not only be supporting our award-winning investigative work, you’ll also get access to exclusive Supporters-only content, including early cuts of our documentaries and behind-the-scenes footage.
IMPACT: As a Supporter, you will be part of a community that has a track record of delivering positive change on social justice issues. We run exciting, creative, and effective impact campaigns alongside our investigative work, and you can be a part of them.
INSPIRATION: Get exclusive access to The Fourth’s events, which range from screening parties to professional video production and impact media training by our global award-winning Fourth Academy team.
NOT READY TO BE A FOURTH SUPPORTER YET?
That’s perfectly fine! You can still support our work by following us on social media, and helping us amplify our content and social impact campaigns.
