About Radio Free America

Radio Free America is a national accountability journalism publication launched in May 2026 by Rooted Creative Group LLC, based in California's Central Valley. We publish original investigations, public-record reporting, and civil society wire content on the issues that matter to communities across the country: government transparency, civil liberties, criminal justice, surveillance, health care, education, and local democracy.

We are an independent publication — not owned by a hedge fund, a major media conglomerate, or a political interest. Our editorial decisions are made by journalists, for the public interest.

Our Audience

RFA's readership is civically engaged, educated, and action-oriented. Our readers follow public-interest news because they are professionally or personally invested in accountability — they are advocates, organizers, public officials, attorneys, educators, journalists, and engaged community members.

National Distribution via Wire
CA-Heavy Geographic Core
May 2026 Launch — Growing Fast
100% Mission-Driven Editorial

Our audience skews toward California but extends nationally through wire distribution partnerships and direct readership. As a newly launched publication, we are building our audience data and will share updated metrics with prospective sponsors upon request. Our growth trajectory reflects the national demand for independent accountability journalism.

Coverage Areas

RFA covers the intersection of power, accountability, and public life. Our core beats:

Civil Liberties
Government Accountability
Criminal Justice
Technology & Surveillance
Education
Health Care
Local Government
Labor & Workers
Immigration
Courts & Law

If your organization operates in these spaces, your work is relevant to our audience — and our audience is relevant to your work.

The RFA Wire

The RFA Wire is a paid distribution service that allows organizations to reach our readership directly through published press releases and public-interest announcements. Launched in May 2026, the Wire is growing its national distribution and is an established channel for civil society communication.

Wire submissions are reviewed by our editorial team, published with clear organizational attribution, and archived permanently on our site. Wire content reaches our full readership and appears in our publication's public index.

Wire distribution stats: Growing national distribution — launched May 2026. Updated audience metrics available upon request for prospective sponsors.

Sponsorship Philosophy

RFA accepts limited mission-aligned sponsorships. We are selective. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable, and we do not allow sponsors to influence news coverage, placement, or editorial decisions. Sponsorships are disclosed clearly to readers.

We believe in transparent, sustainable journalism funding — and we believe sponsors who share our values benefit from association with trusted, independent reporting.

We Do Not Accept Advertising or Sponsorships From:
  • Political campaigns, PACs, or partisan political organizations
  • Private prison or immigration detention operators and contractors
  • Payday lenders and predatory financial services
  • Fossil fuel companies running reputation-management campaigns
  • Any entity currently under active investigation covered in our reporting
  • Surveillance technology companies that have been subject to civil liberties concerns
