About Trans News Network
Trans News Network (TNN) is a nonprofit LGBTQ+ news organization, as a project of Community Partners, a 501c(3) designated tax-exempt charity. Our reporting focuses on compassionate and fact-driven investigative journalism, analysis, opinion articles, and other reporting.
Founded in July 2025 after relaunching from MadyCast News, TNN is entirely reader-funded. We don’t publish ads, take corporate sponsors, or use paywalls to generate revenue. We may take money from charitable grants in the future, given those grants do not impose restrictions on our reporting.

Publication Values
Trans News Network is dedicated to upholding strong ethics in our reporting, prioritizing the social good of trans communities over all other considerations, such as financial success.
True Independence: No outside corporation, venture capitalist, billionaire, political party, politician, or any other entity has editorial influence on our publication. We are completely independently owned and operated. We commit to not reporting on news that poses a conflict of interest, though those instances will be rare.
Ethics: Trans News Network is dedicated to maintaining high standards of ethics and factual reporting. Correction requests can be sent to [email protected].
Honesty: Nothing but the truth, and the entire truth. Trans News Network won’t hold back on its reporting the truth, no matter who is inconvenienced.
Activism: Unlike traditional mainstream outlets, Trans News Network does not shy away from combining reporting with suggestions for activism. Most articles published here will include a section that helps readers find meaningful actions they can take to fight back against emerging fascist movements and organize their communities.
Exclusive articles: Trans News Network focuses its efforts on articles on publishing exclusive news stories and new perspectives to existing coverage. We might publish fewer articles per month than a standard publication, but every article will be worth your time.
Worker’s Rights: Trans News Network is a worker-operated nonprofit. All of our workers receive the industry-leading pay with complete flexibility on work conditions. We guarantee a minimum living wage of $28/hour. This flexibility is made possible by generous support from readers and donors.
Transparency: Trans News Network is committed to providing transparency around all parts of the operation. Paid subscribers and donors will receive an annual financial transparency report to show them what their money is spent on, and everyone will always stay informed on any important changes to the publication. You can find the financial filings of our fiscal sponsor Community Partners here.
Fair Trade Practices: No “dark patterns” will be used in solicitations for donations, and donors who forget to cancel a renewal may ask for a refund within 30 days.
