Biggest journalism project ever on Kickstarter
Tortoise for your team.
Tortoise is a different kind of newsroom. Not breaking news, but what’s driving the news. Not the news as it happens, but when it’s ready.
We don’t cover press conferences. We don’t take ads. We’ll never sell or give away your data. We’re not owned by a proprietor with an axe to grind. We’re independent of political party or commercial agenda.
Join Tortoise as a team.
Take a step back. Hear a different take. See a sharper picture. Shape a new conversation.
