What is Maverick Insider

Maverick Insider is about more than just supporting quality, independent journalism financially and keeping it accessible for all readers. It’s also about building a community with our loyal readers who want to share in unique experiences and help us write this new chapter of Daily Maverick. Globally, news media are in a very challenging space, but even more so in a country like South Africa. We cannot navigate these waters alone, and nor do we want to. Our editorial, talking about the launch of Maverick Insider, explains it a bit more.

Vision of Maverick Insider

Growing to hundreds and then thousands of members, we see Daily Maverick being heavily influenced by the rise of the Maverick Insider community. By becoming more inclusive in our editorial listening and engagement, as well as figuring out the puzzle of news media together, Daily Maverick will ensure that all new products and projects will consider how Insiders can be included in the effort. We believe the programme will become the leading example of how a community effort can inspire and assist one of the best news publishers on the continent to even greater heights. Going beyond the voluntary financial contribution of members, we will seek out ways to include other avenues of contribution to Daily Maverick and how the combined efforts of members and staff can align to serve the public interest and Defend Truth.

It isn't about how much you choose to contribute, any and every contribution to sustaining our journalism makes a difference.
