Our LifeSiteNews team is a family of defenders of life, faith, family, and freedom, all called by God to this work during these turbulent times when the lies of the mainstream media echo around the world. Rest assured, with over 70 staff members in multiple countries, someone is always ‘online’ working at every hour of the day, defending the truth!
Let us take a moment to give you a quick glimpse into what a “Day in the Life” at LifeSiteNews truly looks like! - We start each day with morning prayers. We humbly pray for you, our dear readers and supporters, for any special intentions you send us or may hold in your heart, and for our team members and their special needs. We pray for the conversion of erring clergymen, and for persecuted Christians, for the conversion for all those who oppose us and for the safety of those working for life, faith, family and freedom. We also include a special prayer composed for us by Fr. Ripperger, asking for deliverance and spiritual protection, and thanking God for the gift of His work of LifeSiteNews.
- Each morning our Video Team discusses upcoming interviews and projects: Which special guest is coming on the various video shows next? Is there a breaking news story that needs our mobile video crews on the ground? We take the time every day to analyze what video you need to see. One topic constantly being addressed – censorship! Our video team is not afraid to speak the truth; no topic is off the table; we are not afraid of being silenced!
- Each day our different teams of Journalists and Editors come together to discuss and select the stories to cover. We make sure we bring you the most up-to-date and honest reporting on topics relating to our unique mission. We encourage all members of our staff to pitch news stories. We have multiple eyes and ears on reports around the world and take pride in bringing you the top stories.
- There are multiple ‘behind-the-scenes’ departments at LifeSiteNews crucial to keeping LifeSiteNews afloat. Our IT Security Team spends each day fighting hackers and ‘bugs’ that try to stop the millions who come to our site from viewing our reports. Most of our ongoing web development is built in-house, all done so we do not have to rely on third-party platforms who do not share our principles, or who have many other clients, thereby slowing down what we need to get done for you efficiently. We have an exceptional website engineering team.
- Our Marketing Team and other related staff ensure that our many news emails are well-presented and sent out and received by our various subscriber groups and that our articles and videos are effectively promoted and distributed through social media. All of this is a challenging, complex task in this age of media censorship.
- Our Admin Team attends to the needs of our heroic staff. And our Development Team stewards LifeSite’s essential partners who provide the funds that enable us to do this work.
We are proud of our staff and hope you are proud of them, too. We have a group of ‘youngsters’ from the Post-Roe generation, some of the strongest voices in the pro-life movement, fighting for you. We have young moms and dads who feel called to work at LifeSiteNews to protect their children and the next generation. (Sometimes we even get a hello from a toddler in the background during team calls!) We have colleagues who have left corporate life because of forced COVID-19 requirements or simply because they could not work for a company whose values did not align with their own.
We have courageous staff members who have all chosen to work at LifeSiteNews because of our mission and the change they hope they can make in the world.
When you support LifeSiteNews, you are supporting the efforts of our loyal team members and the work they do to bring light to the world. give.lifesitenews.com
We leave you with a message from one of our youngest journalists, Clare Merkowsky:
When it comes to writing news, especially breaking stories, I find it invaluable to come together with the Canada team for daily meetings, where I find surrounding evidence and synthesize global happenings that inform my delivery. During these calls, I get to discuss current cultural issues with other Canadian journalists on how we can best cover them. I also love hearing about what they are working on. I love being Canadian because, being a young country, Canada is still deciding what it is going to grow into. This summer and fall have been particularly exciting, for pro-family protests have spread, showing that Canadians are determined that the LGBT agenda will not define our country.
LifeSiteNews is important because it focuses on telling the truth, which is something that is so lost by mainstream media. It's often hard to discern what the truth is when we're faced with so many lies and half-truths, so it's important to have a source that you can trust. LifeSiteNews makes it a priority to research stories, so readers don't have to. We examine multiple sources to understand the full picture before publishing it for readers.
Last week Clare wrote a powerful article in which Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist known for his political and cultural views, shared exclusively with LifeSiteNews remarks condemning the “Catholic” school system in Canada for embracing the LGBT agenda and Catholics who succumb to the demands of the LGBT mob.
This story was so important, Dr. Peterson himself re-shared it on his personal page — exposing the truth of the matter to countless people!
If you were inspired by this story, or if there was another story that touched you or gave you a new perspective on the world, we encourage you to give a gift to show your support for LifeSiteNews today and help us reach our Fall Campaign fundraising goal before FRIDAY: give.lifesitenews.com
Please keep the LifeSiteNews team and mission in your prayers. We need them to keep up our strength and protection. We promise to keep you in our prayers, as we understand the great sacrifices you make to keep our mission operational!
Together, let us continue to protect each other and the truth!
