WhyDidX

Turning news readers into activists.

About

Nonprofits want to be thought leaders, but have trouble reaching beyond their base. Readers want to be engaged by the news, but too many stories have neither original insight nor clear calls to action. Enter WhyDidX. We feature collections of questions about the news, answered by the best scholars, journalists, and nonprofit leaders in the world. We ask these people to endorse relevant nonprofits. Once a nonprofit gets enough endorsements, we invite it to host a crowdfunding campaign on our site, leveraging the support of our experts. We don't look like a traditional content marketing platform, because we're not one- we're a news site where all writers are leading experts, and where there's a strong bias towards action. We challenge readers not just to read the news, but to shape it. We want you to live the courage of your convictions. Check out our beta at whydidx.com/prototype.
