Ford Fischer


Ford Fischer is an independent journalist and filmmaker. He is the editor-in-chief of New2Share, a company which has White House press credentials. It is a platform for raw video journalism related to political activism.
Fischer co-founded News2Share with Trey Yingst in 2014 when they were both students of American University.
Fischer reported on the violence at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. His footage was featured in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman and ProPublica's Documenting Hate.
Fischer's channel News2Share was demonetized, so that it would no longer receive ad revenue from YouTube as part of YouTube's restricted monetization policies. Fischer was banned from posting content on Facebook for three days as he tried to share an article about his censorship on YouTube.
