Our Mission

Mic captures the unrest, optimism, and obsessions of a new generation. A looking glass into a changing world, Mic helps young readers process the present with sharp commentary, insightful profiles, and essential reporting. We meet readers where they are, amplifying diverse voices that speak directly to the challenges we’re facing now. Each of our verticals provides a critical lens through which we can better understand our world, our future, and ourselves.
