Illuminating the Way:
Support UM News on World Press Freedom Day

For more than 80 years, UM News–the official newsgathering agency for The United Methodist Church–has served as a beacon, illuminating incredible stories of God's work in the world through our denomination.

In an increasingly divided world, fair, faithful and trusted reporting isn't just important—it's essential. Your support ensures that stories of transformation continue to be told with integrity, especially in regions where access to information is restricted.

This World Press Freedom Day, help UM News transform information into inspiration and continue sharing stories that connect, equip and inform The UMC.

Why A Free Press Matters

A free and independent press is essential for transparency, accountability and the sharing of truthful stories that inspire action. Faith-based journalism plays a critical role in ensuring that the stories of transformation are told with integrity and fairness.

Imagine a world where the stories of life-changing ministry, mission and compassion go unheard. Without a free press, the powerful impact of this work risks fading into silence. Giving to UM News today ensures our ability to continue this important ministry – telling stories and living lives that give others hope – remains alive and strong.
