Company Profile

Company Description:

The War Horse reports on the U.S. military and veterans issues, exposing the true cost of military service and rebuilding America’s reporting ecosystem to inspire an informed citizenry that holds the military-industrial complex accountable. Our team accomplishes this through bulletproof journalism, education programs, and community-building events.  Our work matters because today, the U.S. government spends more than $1 trillion annually on defense and veterans affairs, more than twice what it spends on health care, education, infrastructure, and diplomacy combined. In contrast, less than 5% of journalism focuses on military service. The problem is growing worse and negatively impacts not only U.S. national security and the viability of the all-volunteer military force, but the everyday lives of veterans, military families, and our nation as a whole. The War Horse team is setting the standard for reporting stories that matter, with diligence and integrity, to rebuild Americans’ trust in the press.
