ABOUT TEARLINE

TEARLINE is a daily brief covering the most significant stories in conflict, security, and technology affecting our lives and businesses. Published every day by the team at SOFX Media, it reaches over 70,000 readers around the world.

We founded SOFX in 2014 as a daily reader for the special operations community. Over the past decade, with the support of that community, we evolved through many iterations of coverage, some right, some wrong, until we arrived at TEARLINE.

What started as a niche email for SOF professionals now serves a much wider audience: service members across branches, aerospace and defense industry professionals, intelligence and policy analysts, and intentional readers who want reliable, apolitical reporting on the issues that affect all of us.

That growth was built entirely on reader trust, and we don't take it lightly.

Our Mission

"Fight Evil. Avert Suffering. At Scale."

That has been our mission from the beginning, at TEARLINE and across everything SOFX Media does. We believe trust is the most important thing we can offer. In a time defined by the proliferation of AI, the normalization of surveillance and censorship, and increasingly divisive political rhetoric, independent and apolitical information matters more than it ever has.
