Editorial Philosophy

ZNetwork both curates and originates. We look across the universe of publications and repost content, as well as generate & solicit original content.

As a reader-supported 501c3 nonprofit, ZNetwork.org does not oppose or endorse candidates for political office.

Original Content

ZNetwork aims to contribute original work that is needed for activism and organization across a holistic view of life, giving attention to gender & kinship relations, culture & community relations, polity, economy, ecology, and international relations.
We prioritize an overarching focus on vision and strategy, as well as on analysis that can contribute to either vision or strategy.
Critique is often an essential component of our content. However, our goal is to advance the discussion beyond all that is wrong towards all that might yet be right, and to highlight diverse efforts towards this goal. We don’t just oppose, we propose.

We aim to make everything we generate as accessible and congenial as possible, and actively seek out systemically marginalized perspectives.

Curated Content

Our curation criteria for reposting content is exactly as above, with the addition to favor work that we think is especially worthy, or worthy but not widely seen.


ZMagazine

Every month, we curate a selection of Z originals and exclusives for ZMagazine. Due to distribution format, only text based articles and images are included.

DOES Z'S SURVIVAL MATTER?

You keep coming back for a reason: serious political analysis, movement reporting, and debate beyond the priorities of corporate media. Today, Z is in a precarious financial position. If Z is part of how you understand the world, help keep it going. The readers who give monthly are the reason this work survives between fundraisers.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Z is in the most precarious financial position in its history.

Z is a place to think beyond the limits of the present.

For decades, Z has brought together political analysis, movement reporting, debate, and visions of a different future from writers and activists around the world. That work is more than journalism. It is movement infrastructure: movements need places to develop ideas, test arguments, learn from experience, and imagine what comes next.

In the first two days of this fundraiser, 19 donors and 8 new monthly sustainers stepped up. Help us reach 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone.

For decades, Z has published the analysis, debate, and visions movements need, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. If that work should continue, Z needs your support now.
