About Savage Minds
Who are we?
Savage Minds was launched in 2020 and is managed by Julian Vigo, Editor-in-Chief, as a collective of writers from diverse backgrounds. Facing “cancel culture” restricting cultural debates and the proliferation of fake news due to publications failing to pay writers, Vigo created this independent platform to address critical political and cultural issues, drawing on a background in cultural anthropology and investigative research. She has written for Quillette, Spiked, TruthDig, Truthout, Dissident Voice, Forbes, CounterPunch, Black Agenda Report, Morning Star, and The Ecologist, among others.
Our Mission and Philosophy
Our mission is to return journalism to its noble roots, asking hard questions and covering perspectives absent from major media, which often publishes paid content as news. We aim to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, as advocated by the American Press Institute.
