Become a Chismosx Por Vida
Who
The Chisme Collective was born from a deep dissatisfaction with the local news landscape in Corpus Christi and across the Coastal Bend. Our writing team is made up of community organizers, activists, educators, government watchdogs, former newspaper reporters and artists.
Where
Our team is based in Corpus Christi and Houston but we accept submissions from anywhere.
When
We launched our first batch of content August 2024. All of us committed to creating explanatory and enterprise content for free for one full year.
What
We’re a volunteer-run, grassroots news organization dedicated to confirming chisme that is important to marginalized chismosxs. We believe that chisme can be storytelling for defense cuando chismeamos – when we gossip – with integrity and in service to our community.
Why
We’re not getting paid and we’re spending money out of pocket to run our ad-free website because one of our core values is accessibility; our content will never be behind a paywall.
That’s why we need your help!
