The War Horse Is The Most Trusted Source For Military Reporting
In 2016, I founded The War Horse News to educate the public on the human impact of military service. Since then, The War Horse has published groundbreaking reporting, forged partnerships with Ivy League Universities and Fortune 50 corporations, and has become a renowned distribution portal considered not just important to veterans and their families, but vital by prominent journalists, advocates, and military officials.
The War Horse is not just a newsroom. We are an incubator for excellence in military reporting, a hub for community engagement, and a catalyst for meaningful change. Our comprehensive approach and unique position as the "teaching hospital for military reporting" allows us to publish bulletproof investigative reporting, train the next generation of journalists, provide practical solutions to employment challenges for military spouses, and bridge the military and civilian divide, all while helping to restore the Fourth Estate.
“I love The War Horse News because it’s a lot of people that have served and trained people who have actually experienced the military. ”
