The Real News Network

The Real News Network (TRNN) is a nonprofit, viewer-supported daily video-news and documentary service. It was founded in 2007 with the mission to provide independent, uncompromising, in-depth journalism that focuses on the critical issues of our times. TRNN covers a wide range of topics including U.S. and international politics, socioeconomic issues, the environment, and movements fighting for social justice. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, TRNN positions itself as an alternative to mainstream media outlets by refusing to accept government funding, corporate sponsorship, or advertising, aiming to ensure editorial independence.

The network emphasizes the importance of producing news content that informs and empowers viewers to become critical consumers of media and active citizens. TRNN’s content is largely focused on providing context and background to news stories, making complex topics accessible and engaging. This approach aims to offer insights not only on what is happening in the world but also why it is happening and how it impacts ordinary people.

TRNN also engages with its community through public debates, lectures, and panels, featuring experts, activists, and thought leaders discussing pressing issues. This interactive dimension of TRNN’s work helps to foster a deeper understanding and discussion around global and national affairs among its audience. Through its commitment to high standards of journalism and public discourse, The Real News Network strives to contribute positively to a more informed and equitable society.
