## Resource

AI is rewriting journalism’s rules, scraping human-reported news without credit and risking the survival of independent outlets. The Tyee stands firm, refusing AI in reporting and championing human voices to combat misinformation. Powered by thousands of supporters who value truth over algorithms, the publication is hitting record readership—even after bots. With a new “Reality Check” initiative, podcast, and awards under its belt, The Tyee is fighting back as platforms silence Canadian news and tech giants profit from journalists’ labor. They’re now racing to add 650 new members by June 15th—offering tax receipts, hats, and the chance to help hire more reporters and keep journalism free for all.
