Why support Kevin Gosztola?
Kevin Gosztola is edits and publishes The Dissenter newsletter, which regularly covers press freedom, government secrecy, and whistleblowing and can be found at TheDissenter.org (Subscribe here).
He has reported on attacks on whistleblowers and journalists as well as secrecy abuses for the past 10-15 years and hosts a podcast tied to his newsletter called “The Dissenter Weekly” (Listen here.)
Kevin authored Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange from Censored Press and Seven Stories Press (Book available here). And he every so often writes about movies at Medium for an informal publication called The Wide Shot.
With so much output, where can one subscribe for all that he posts? Here’s a good place. Some of the exclusive content won’t be available unless you subscribe to The Dissenter Newsletter, subscribe to The Dissenter Weekly, or have a membership account on Medium. But Kevin will do his best to make it possible for you to follow all non-paid subscriber content here at Substack.
(Kevin refuses to take your money through this platform. Donate here if you want to give him a tip for his journalism.)
Stay up-to-date
You may find it overwhelming to try and follow Kevin across so many platforms (Ghost, Medium, Patreon, YouTube, etc). It’s even exhausting for him. Just subscribe to this Substack and receive alerts when he has new articles, podcast episodes, or videos to share.
Join the crew
It’s free. Kevin moved away from Substack years ago. Only because of the Substack app does he think it is probably worth it to maintain a presence. But read about what the Substack co-founder did when he asked Substack to continue to support independent journalism. This was unacceptable, and Kevin now publishes The Dissenter through the open source publishing platform Ghost that is superior to Substack.

What do I get when I subscribe?
You get snippets and links for Kevin’s journalism so you do not have to hunt around the internet for it. It is your choice whether to support him and make it possible for the journalism he does to continue. He certainly would appreciate if you subscribe to his newsletter and podcast.
