Turning the Tide is a collectively run news magazine based in Corpus Christi, Texas. As a group of contributors to this publication, we believe strongly in decentralization and participatory democracy: This means that no one is “in charge,” and that every person involved has a hand in decision-making. As a publication, we embrace advocacy journalism, or the practice of using fact-based arguments to support certain views and causes. In particular, we side with History’s Losers: the poor, the oppressed, minorities, workers, women, and children. In this way, we are openly biased against reactionaries and committed to social justice.

This publication aims to discuss social, political, and economic themes from a radical/progressive viewpoint (especially those relevant to Texas where possible); to expand community understanding of these themes; and to provide a voice and organizational apparatus for citizens committed to spreading social justice by helping disintegrate poverty, classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, war, and other deep-rooted institutional failures.

Because we endorse advocacy journalism, we reserve the right not to print submissions that promote racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, or are otherwise intended to derail or contradict our stated aims.

Turning the Tide is published by CHR Media Collective, a non-profit media collective based in Corpus Christi, Texas.
