Republik is a Swiss online news magazine launched in 2018. Funded primarily by its readers, the magazine emphasizes investigative journalism, reader-journalist interaction, and long format journalism. The magazine editors and founders have also created Project R, an effort to promote the long-term sustainability of high quality journalism in Switzerland. Republik was first established in January 2018, after a record-breaking crowdfunding effort in 2017. The magazine raised 750,0000 Swiss francs and attracted 3,000 new subscribers in the first seven hours following its launch. It raised an additional 3.4 million francs in the next five weeks, and according to the Associated Press, 7.7 million francs by mid-January 2018. Republik is independent and is funded by readers, not advertisement, and accrued over 15,000 subscribers within the first months of opening. The magazine's German-language motto is "We can do it together, or not at all." Republik's manifesto states that it is "financed without advertising: Our readers are the only customers. And consequently our bosses." More information...
