TFC Network

The TFC network is an ever-expanding family of sites dedicated to undermining and replacing corporate and government controlled media. Our network currently includes:

The Fifth Column: Our flagship site with an international focus. It’s backed by a massive global network of independent journalists, affiliates, and like minded sites.

The Pontiac Tribune: A long-time mainstay of the independent media, The Pontiac Tribune joined the TFC family in January of 2016. It will soon transform into a US and Canadian focused independent outlet dedicated to establishing a network of journalists from all of the major markets in those two countries.

Sleeper Cells: To compete with the world’s media conglomerates, TFC has to step beyond the written word. This outlet is primed to begin establishing our video and audio operations. Soon you will find original TFC audio and video content.

If you’re interested in having your independent outlet’s content syndicated through the TFC network, drop us a line.
