About our Mission
Broad + Liberty is a news and editorial outlet dedicated to freedom of thought and giving voice to issues and ideas that have been shut out of our discourse for too long. Based in Philadelphia, we are a nonprofit built to promote innovative ideas, diverse and disruptive viewpoints, and positive policies that hit home for our readers, supporters and followers.
For readers in a “keystone” region of millions of people, we have grown into the de facto source of fact-based news and divergent political editorial commentary that readers cannot find anywhere else – provoking thought, challenging ideological assumptions, and offering a perspective on the issues that matter.
Broad + Liberty advocates for political, cultural, and economic freedom in local and regional discourse in Philadelphia and its environs: the suburban collar counties of Southeast Pennsylvania, South and Central New Jersey, and throughout the rest of PA.

Who Are We?
Since our inception in 2019, Broad + Liberty has assembled a dynamic and expanding team of investigative journalists, policy thinkers, content creators, and editors — including a talented and committed Board of Directors from across Pennsylvania with backgrounds in journalism, business, public policy, academia, and law.
Broad + Liberty has established a strategic partnership with PoliticsPA, significantly expanding our impact in Harrisburg and across Pennsylvania. This collaboration has strengthened PoliticsPA’s capacity for nonpartisan campaign coverage, enhanced our presence in the state capitol, and added a new dimension to our statewide journalism.
Our flagship collaborative podcast, Voices of Reason, is the antidote to a political environment too often mired in animosity and hidden agendas. This podcast brings the left and right together for intelligent discussions that produce real-world solutions even when we don’t share the same perspectives. The key: everyone gets a fair shake.Together, Broad + Liberty and PoliticsPA provide readers with a breadth of multimedia content and substantive coverage of every twist and turn in the Keystone State.
Impact
With the generous help of our supporters, Broad + Liberty has tapped a ready market of people who want the full story on state and local issues that matter most to them.
Here are just a few items that Broad + Liberty offers…
- Local and regional news and editorials reaching across Pennsylvania, and amplifying ideas and policy approaches to improve outcomes for people, and give oxygen back to the problem solvers.
- Hard-hitting investigative reporting for a region of millions, led by Todd Shepherd — from challenging the thoroughness of misconduct investigations at the highest levels of Pennsylvania’s government, to numerous exclusives on critical management failures at the Delaware County prison, and exposing connections between controversial election grants and donations to partisan-aligned PACs.
Multimedia content including the collaborative Voices of Reason podcast with PoliticsPA, and the “Broad + Liberty Power Hour” broadcast across the Philadelphia Metro Area by WBCB, based in Bucks County.
