If you prefer to watch an intro video explaining some of the basics of Articles Media we have one available below.
With the help of input from Americans, as well as political and industry experts, we aim to construct nonpartisan bills that would restore the economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights that have been striped away or never given to us Americans. We aim to campaign on the fundamental proposals listed in our politics section and recruit those who agree at local/state and federal levels to put an end to the current system of Democrats and Republicans that objectively failed our country by taking to long to act. Politicians that are Democrats and Republicans can run as an Articles Supporter as long as they agree with the Fundamental Proposals that Articles has defined. In order to achieve these goals we engage in transparency and news as well. Read on to learn more about our transparency and news efforts or skip to the politics section.
At Articles, everything is transparent from day one. Donations, sales, ad-revenue, payroll, cost of operations, you name it, all available live over at our Reports page.
Money corrupts many organizations and leaders so we want to make sure the same does not happen to us, transparency is also one of the most ethical things a company involved in politics can do if done right. Many other companies do this yes, but to acquire this data proves very challenging and can be hard. That data is also sometimes missing bits and pieces as well as delayed to onlookers.
Every transaction we process will appear live, just bought a shirt from us? Head over to the reports page and there you will see that purchase as well as the amount of money sitting in our accounts. Whenever we need to take money from that account say for events, resupplying products, or anything really, those transactions show up there too. Each expense of ours includes a explanation on why we spent that money along with a system for supporters to ask more questions about the transaction and flag it if they do not agree with it.
If you prefer to watch a video going over the transparency pages and how it works then we offer one below from our YouTube channel.

The employees page lists off all of our employees as well details about them including pay and contributions to the platform.
At this moment I am the only employee but short term plans include hiring more people to assist with the platform. It is my goal to bring on more web-developers and authors as soon as possible.
The code page gives transparent insights into the code that makes up the platform. Powered by the GitHub API, view code and commits from our projects in a controlled way. It is our goal to eventually make everything fully open source.
Current news providers are falling out of touch with the average American. They keep providing content and coverage not in the interest of the American people, it is time for something to be done. We are developing interactive and dynamic articles that make news easier to navigate. Source based and trackable issues are a great focus and a huge part of Articles.
A huge majority of American publishing is owned by just 6 companies, all of which give political donations to our government. Take a look at the image below

Stories is the place where we put our more general news and current events. Stories are not subscribable but you can choose to be alerted when edits and updates to one are made.
Issues are news you can subscribe to directly. Issues are for events that receive updates to them that need attention. Think about ongoing issues like the Keystone XL Pipeline and Global Warming which are both issues you can subscribe to today!
Myths are where users can go to clear up confusion on common misconceptions. This area is home to questions like "Do electric car batteries pollute more than gasoline cars?" and "Do windmills actually cause cancer?". We provide sources and data on all the topics we cover here so users can leave educated and confident, not being fooled by rumors that travel the nations web.
We offer resources to provide factual, well-organized information on important topics that shape our world. Whether it's historical events, political structures, economic issues, or scientific knowledge, these materials help combat misinformation and promote a deeper understanding of key subjects.

If you prefer to watch a video going over the politics pages and how proposals work then we offer one below from our YouTube channel.
Proposals is a place we talk about some of the changes we feel should happen in the political landscape of the country and the facts and details behind our conclusions. All are welcome to contribute and voice their thoughts on proposals so we can shape it into what this country wants and needs.
Advisors help shape our proposals and platform just like our users, advisors include members from various industries and political organizations that have experience and a proven track record of wanting to advance the country and solve issues. Advisors sentiment can be viewed inside of proposals and commented on by users.
Just like the average American is dissatisfied with today political landscape, many of the business owners of America are as well. From small businesses to Fortune 500 there is a disconnect between what Americans want and what is being delivered. In industries where politics is heavily involved or action is needed we reach out to business owners and partners to voice what they think and possibly include them as Advisors because the voice of industry leaders is just as important as politicians. To refrain from naming anyone alive, think people like Steve Jobs, Alexander Graham Bell for industry and Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln for Politicians.
At this moment I am the only advisor but actively trying to fill more spots with industry and political experts that support solving the fundamental proposals.
There is the main set of political proposals but all of our verified members can also submit and receive feedback on political proposals. If a user political proposal gets a lot of agreement we will review it and possibly add it to the main set or come out with a statement on it.
Layouts are home to user profiles and other pages that our users can make for the communities they have or follow.
