Our Culture & Values
At ctrl+alt+RESIST, we believe in journalism that doesn’t just inform but transforms. We’re building a media organization that stands apart from both legacy outlets trapped in outdated notions of “objectivity” and clickbait factories chasing algorithms instead of truth.
Truth Over Access
We’d rather lose an insider tip than compromise our integrity. Our loyalty is to our readers and the facts.
Humor With Purpose
Our snark isn’t just for laughs—it’s a weapon against absurdity, hypocrisy, and normalization of the unacceptable.
Radical Transparency
We’re upfront about our perspective, our funding, and our mistakes. No hidden agendas, no mysterious benefactors.
Collaborative Creation
The best ideas emerge from diverse perspectives. We foster an environment where everyone contributes.
