Impact & Reports

Impact

This year has made clear that The Intercept’s work — the investigations, the accountability reporting, the stories others wouldn’t touch — has the power to resonate, spark real consequences, and remind readers why independent journalism matters. Thanks to reader support, The Intercept is making a difference in the lives of millions – from protecting your health data from Palantir to exposing the bigotry and cruelty driving the administration’s new policies.

Thank you for standing with The Intercept, and for joining us in the fight for justice. You can read our Mid Year Impact Report below.

In 2025, we chased the stories that made the powerful uncomfortable. We followed the truth wherever it lead. And we did it because readers like you made it possible. That’s what reader-supported investigative journalism looks like — and, despite ongoing assaults on press
freedom, we’re not backing down. Find the 2025 impact below.
