AP donors help to make our work possible. The generosity of our donors helps to power our independent, nonpartisan journalism and provides critical support to our reporters as they work tirelessly to bring you the biggest stories of the day.

Today, we’re excited to invite you to The Editors Circle, a group exclusively for monthly and annual donors. Editors Circle members receive exclusive benefits including a monthly newsletter, journalist Q&A events and fewer ads on the AP News app.

These benefits are our way of saying thank you to our most loyal supporters. A monthly or annual gift is the most sustainable, most impactful way to support our work.

With your recurring donation, you can become part of the community that keeps our independent newsroom going strong. Please consider joining The Editors Circle with a monthly or annual donation — as little as $10 each month is enough to join.

Exclusive benefits for Editors Circle members include:

• A monthly newsletter that provides an inside look into how some of our biggest stories come together, with on-the-ground insights from our reporters as they cover breaking news and deep-dive investigations from around the globe
• Invitations to exclusive conversations each month with AP journalists that take you behind the scenes of the stories dominating the headlines: our White House and midterms coverage, the latest developments in international conflict zones like Iran and Ukraine, extreme weather and so much more.
• Access to Ad Lite, which means you’ll see fewer ads when logged into our AP News app
• More to come — stay tuned!

When you make a monthly or annual donation, you can join us for two of our Editors Circle-exclusive events this month: AP Is There: Inside Election Night on Wednesday, Oct. 14, our next monthly donor Q+A that will take you behind the scenes with AP’s Elections team, and the digital premiere of A Changing White House on Wednesday, Oct. 21, where you’ll be one of the first to see AP’s new documentary about the history of the White House, followed by a Q+A with the documentary team.

Being a part of The Editors Circle is the best way to make an ongoing impact on the journalism you read every day. Will you join our circle by making a monthly or annual donation?

With gratitude,

Thomas Crowley and Paige Butler
