While the economics of the news business deteriorate, more and more news organizations are putting their reporting behind paywalls. This makes sense if you’re a for-profit company whose primary concern is maximizing shareholder value or turning a profit for your owner. That isn’t how we see things around here. We believe that information should be free and knowledge shouldn’t be privatized and available to only the affluent. 

But that doesn’t mean we’re not also concerned with the bottom line. The key difference is that every dollar we make goes into furthering our mission of fearlessly reporting on ideas, politics, and power. We’re not here to make someone rich, we’re here to make sure you, our readers, are informed and educated about the key issues of our time.    

The type of reporting and analysis we do isn’t cheap. Sending reporters into the field to report on stories the mainstream media overlooks requires resources. That is where you come in. One way to support us is to subscribe to our print edition. We’re offering newsletter subscribers a limited time offer of a year-long subscription for $29.95, which is 50% off of the normal price.

What you’ll find inside each issue is deeply reported stories and trenchant analysis. You’ll get a copy of the magazine in your mailbox six times a year, and if you order now you’ll get our October issue. This issue has a lot of really interesting stories in it, including some you might not expect. We travel to the heart of politics in Boston, public grocery stores in red states, a secluded resort in Wyoming, public works project sites in the Pacific Northwest, and…wait for it…Greenland.  

We can’t wait to send it to your doorstep. If you want to support independent media and get our magazine delivered to you, subscribe today.

Cheers,
