<div>The corporate media has failed at its job of informing you because it has been captured by the interests of the world’s wealthiest. They don’t write for you. They write to protect their massive business contracts and to appease the powerful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are censoring stories not because they are false, but because they are inconvenient for the billionaires they serve. Washington state has suffered from this corporate takeover, leaving corruption in our own backyards uncovered.

<div>I am starting the Olympic Herald to build a news outlet that answers to no one but the citizens of Washington. I will never answer to shareholders, hedge funds, or billionaire owners. But because I refuse to take their money, I need your help.

<div>My grandfather, <a href="https://www.presstelegram.com/2016/04/04/rich-archbold-longtime-p-t-columnist-tom-hennessy-always-put-readers-first/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Hennessy</a> , fought  judges and censorship in the 1960s to expose corruption, and I intend to offer that same type of fearless journalism.

</div>
<div>My goal is to make everything I write available to all subscribers without a paywall. Your contributions will do more than just support me; they will fund the fight against a system designed to hide the truth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can only do this with your help. Please, contribute whatever you can.
