The Tyee works because of reader support.

Hi there, my name is Shubh. If you’re a regular reader of The Tyee, you probably haven’t come across my name before.

I don’t write or edit articles, but I play a key role in making sure The Tyee can do its work.

You see, The Tyee is a non-profit, reader-supported publication. Our business model relies on a certain number of readers agreeing to financially support our editorial budget. Right now, the percentage of readers who choose to do so hovers between 1 to 2 percent. These readers, a few thousand of them, are the only reason why we can publish multiple original stories per day, and pour resources into investigative reporting, which is expensive and very difficult to fund on a local scale.

Keeping up with our membership goals means the difference between us growing our newsroom or not. And even to maintain our membership levels, we must continually sign up new supporters as a small number of our recurring supporters’ payments lapse each month.

I spend all of my time finding the best possible ways to ask our readers this: If you find value in what The Tyee publishes, if you want us to be able to do it today and long into the future, will you consider signing up to be a Tyee Builder? You can give one-time, monthly, or annually at a level that works for you, and you can cancel any time.

This is all in service of putting resources into the hands of our talented, independent journalists and publishing their work for all to read, without locking articles behind a paywall.

The Tyee is based in what is commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

Our team reaches across the province, to the unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on the traditional territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt nations on Vancouver Island, commonly known as Victoria; the territory of the Gidimt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en in the Interior, in what is commonly known as Smithers; and qathet in the traditional territories of the Tla’amin Nation on the Sunshine Coast, commonly known as Powell River.

Members of our editorial and business team also extend east, to the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and the Mississaugas of the Credit, in what is commonly known as Toronto, Ontario.

We are grateful to work on the territory of these nations, and through The Tyee, to expand knowledge of Indigenous relationships to the land commonly known as Canada.
