Why support The Sprawl?

  • I support The Sprawl because it offers a balance between what I am curious about, what I want to understand, and what I had no idea about—but am happy to learn!

  • In the face of news conglomeration, "if it bleeds, it leads" sensationalism, clickbait and polarization of the news, this is a breath of fresh air. That’s why I support The Sprawl.

  • The Sprawl straps on the ropes, helmets, headlamps and—most importantly—the walkie-talkies, and digs deep into the issues facing our city in ways that other media only scratches the surface of. In five short years they've become essential reading.
