Everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share and build community through our stories.
Our values are based on four essential freedoms that define who we are.
Four essential freedoms underpin our values:
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
We believe people should be able to speak with freedom, share opinions robustly, and foster open dialogue.
We also believe that the aforementioned creative freedom leads to new voices emerge from obscurity, and also allows for new formats and possibilities to develop from the creative ether of humanity.
FREEDOM TO ASSEMBLE
We believe everyone should be able to assemble in communities where they can find support, break through barriers, transcend country lines and come together around like-minded interests and passions.
FREEDOM OF ACCESS
We believed everyone should have simple, vast access to information and that video is a force multiplier for educating the world, building cognitive understanding, and documenting the events that shape our world
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
We believe that people should have access to world and that the world has a choice of who gets discovered. We believe in the choice to build a business and succeed on your own terms, and that people—not anything else—decides what’s popular and what's not.
The Federalist, commonly referred to as the Federalist Papers, is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison between October 1787 and May 1788. The essays were published anonymously, under the pen name "Publius," in various New York state newspapers of the time.
The Federalist Papers were written and published to urge New Yorkers to ratify the proposed United States Constitution, which was drafted in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. In lobbying for adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation, the essays explain particular provisions of the Constitution in detail. For this reason, and because Hamilton and Madison were each members of the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers are often used today to help interpret the intentions of those drafting the Constitution.
