   Congratulations to our first 2024 EFF Awards Winner, @404mediaco !

   As the media landscape in general and tech media in particular keeps shrinking, 404 Media, launched in August 2023, has forged ahead with incisive investigative reports, deep-dive features, blogs, and scoops.

     Co-founder of 404 Media, Jason Koebler: “We believe that there is a huge demand for journalism written by humans, for other humans, and that real people do not want to read AI generated news stories that are written for search engine optimization algorithms and social media algorithms, and then jammed down our throats.”

     “We’re thankful to be one of a handful of journalist-owned, independent companies that have shown there is another way to do this, that are succeeding and doing important fun work for other people, and we’re really thankful that the EFF believes this work is important.”

     “I don’t have enough time to name all of the people that we’ve spoken to at the EFF, but you do such incredible work, and thank you so much for the work that you do. I know that Sam, Emanuel, and Joseph feel the same. Thank you so much.”
