Canary Media
U.S. left-leaning, climate-advocacy-adjacent
Canary Media is an independent nonprofit newsroom focused on clean energy and climate policy, founded in 2021 by the Rocky Mountain Institute and fully independent since mid-2024. It is funded primarily by climate- and environment-focused foundations and covers decarbonization from a perspective that treats urgent climate action as essential. Its coverage of the Trump administration has been broadly critical, consistently reporting on how administration policies have undercut clean energy programs, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the broader energy transition.
