Authors
IVN has published thousands of articles from hundreds of contributors across the political spectrum: elected officials, scholars, policy advocates, journalists, and everyday voters. They do not share an ideology. They share a willingness to make an honest argument under our editorial etiquette. Want to join them? Start with Publish with IVN.
Who publishes IVN
IVN is co-published by two nonpartisan nonprofits, the Independent Voter Project (IVP) and the Foundation for Independent Voter Education (FIVE). They fund and support the platform. Neither directs our editorial coverage. You can see the full leadership and board of our publishers on the IVP about page. Where the money comes from is on How We're Funded.
