Media Collective
Helping leading journalists forge an independent, sustainable path forward.
Quality journalism is more essential than ever. Yet shrinking newsrooms, declining trust in mass media, and the high costs of going independent have left many journalists with limited options.
The beehiiv Media Collective is our solution—a first-of-its-kind initiative empowering leading voices in journalism to make the leap to independence. By providing journalists with the platform, resources, and operational support needed to launch and grow their own media ventures, we're laying the foundation for a new era of sustainable, audience-driven journalism.
Inclusion in this program, to which we are committing several million dollars over the next two years, is by invitation only. The Media Collective's inaugural cohort of journalists will begin in early 2025.

“We’ve been working with beehiiv for a year now and can’t recommend the product and their team more. It’s an intuitive, easy-to-use, and all-inclusive product that’s only made better by the great team behind it.”

“Newsletters are at the heart of the direct-to-consumer model. This is the DNA for the new generation of independent journalist. The beehiiv team has the toolbox for journalists to thrive in the marketplace.”
Catherine Herridge
Journalist
“A lot of platforms right now want to lock writers in and it's been so refreshing to work with a team that wants to help me reach wider audiences and own my own distribution. After moving to beehiiv, I feel like I went from someone who just writes newsletters to someone who is building a real and sustainable media business.”
