The truth is, the outcome of last week’s US presidential election was not what many of us at WIRED had hoped for. As we have stated before, our core values of respect for democratic institutions, human rights, and the urgency of addressing climate change are at odds with the beliefs and policies of the incoming administration.
However, our values remain unchanged and our commitment to rigorous and independent journalism across all areas of coverage remains steadfast, especially during this uncertain political time. But there is one more value that we hold dear at WIRED, and that is hope.
At WIRED, we believe in the power of technology and scientific progress to improve human lives and create possibilities that were once unimaginable. We have faith in the ingenuity and creativity of the human mind, and we take great joy in sharing the innovative ideas and inventions of brilliant individuals from various fields. We also believe in the potential of the internet to connect people, inform them, and provide a sense of community.
We will always choose to believe that the best days for our world and our galaxy are yet to come. We believe in hope, and we believe that journalism, in all its forms, plays a crucial role in shaping a better future.
With that in mind, we want to reaffirm what you can expect from WIRED in the coming weeks, months, and years. We will continue to closely monitor and report on the policies and actions of the new administration, shedding light on important issues such as surveillance, privacy, AI regulation, and climate change. We believe that accountability and access to accurate information are essential for progress.
But that’s not all. We also want to entertain and inspire you. Our culture coverage will introduce you to fascinating online communities, emerging trends, and talented creators. Our gear coverage will showcase the latest and most innovative products, and we remain committed to providing the best tech journalism.
In conclusion, we want to thank you for your continued support and readership. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality, informative, and enjoyable content, and we will continue to do so with hope and optimism for the future.
