They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Access to journalism based on public records is more important than ever at this moment, with government websites and records disappearing, DOGE doing its best to operate outside the public’s view, and the National Archive in disarray.

Again, we’re excited to be the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage. We hope other publications follow suit in this critical moment. And if you want to support our journalism directly, you can do so by subscribing here. wrd.cm/3DKcKYD
