Dear Reader,

Do you find yourself often checking and comparing information from multiple sources to feel secure that you have a credible grip on a matter?

Because relying on any single source would make yourself vulnerable to bias. You trust your own judgment more than others'.

You are not alone.

Americans' views of mass media are continuing on a downward trajectory. According to the latest Gallup poll, as of Feb. 27, 36% are saying they have no trust in it at all.

This should not be the norm. Fortunately, we recognized the issue decades ago. When The Epoch Times was first established, we chose Truth and Tradition as our guiding motto. Today, The Epoch Times remains truly independent from any corporations, governments, or political parties to assure the integrity of our reporting. More than 1 million Americans have put their trust in us. We are now the fourth largest U.S. newspaper by subscriber count!
