Running a media platform is a rough business these days. Especially for a small start-up, determined to keep a solid focus on the incredibly important topic of national security and determined to keep the quality of that focus high.

As an industry-wide exodus of advertising revenue continues to put smaller, independent, high-quality publications at risk, more platforms are turning directly to their readers for support.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
