404 Media Celebrates Three Years of Impactful Journalism with Sold-Out Events
By Editor • September 7, 2026 • 2 min read
404 Media marked its third anniversary with a remarkable celebration in New York City, showcasing the strength of community support and the power of independent journalism. The events, which included a live podcast taping and a vibrant afterparty, were a testament to the organization's journey since its inception in August 2020.
A Leap of Faith
When the founders of 404 Media left the corporate media landscape behind, they embarked on a mission fueled by passion and hope. They envisioned creating journalism that resonates deeply with readers, emphasizing the importance of impactful storytelling in today's world. "We believe that if we do this journalism well enough, you, our readers, will be willing to subscribe because you think it's important," they expressed at the time of their launch.
Celebrating Community Support
This year’s anniversary festivities saw enthusiastic participation, with both events selling out completely. The first night featured a live taping of their podcast at WNYC's Greene Space, where attendees engaged in lively discussions about pressing issues. The question on everyone’s mind, "ARE WE GOING TO BE OKAY?" sparked meaningful conversations, reinforcing a sense of hope among participants.
The following evening, the celebration continued at Threes Brewing in Brooklyn, where guests enjoyed good food and drinks while connecting with each other and the 404 Media team. Special thanks were given to DeleteMe for their support, as well as to contributors like Becky Ferreira and Matthew Gault, who shared their insights during the events.
Looking Forward
As the team reflects on the past three years, they express gratitude for the unwavering support from their readers. Plans for the upcoming year promise exciting developments, and they encourage those yet to subscribe to consider joining the community for exclusive content and insights. Stay tuned for more updates as they continue their journey into Year Four.
