They have built trust with a huge audience that legacy institutions are increasingly struggling to reach. Through our partnership, we're hoping to make some of the most ambitious and insightful storytelling that meets audiences where they are."

"We've seen the huge impact of this journalism with our audiences already, and now with Emerson Collective's investment and Bill's leadership, we can build a new type of organization based around innovative, trusted and context-driven storytelling at scale." "Johnny and Iz are exceptional entrepreneurs with the ambition to build the leading creator-led journalism company," added Peter Lattman, managing director of media at Emerson Collective. "Johnny is a gifted storyteller who makes complex subjects compelling and accessible. In Bill Owens, they're adding a world-class journalist who brings the rigor and production excellence that defined his tenure at 60 Minutes."
