Jack, Daily Kos is $22,042 away from our monthly goal. Can you chip in $5 now to help us close the books on July?
The news media is in trouble. It doesn't matter if it's print or digital, big outlets or independent publishers, local or national—they all have one thing in common: They're struggling.
Thousands of news media jobs have been shed, every single year, for over a decade now. That's thousands of reporters, fact-checkers, and editors who've lost their jobs. What's replacing them? Fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories spread on ever-growing social media networks that continue to eat up a larger percentage of the digital ad market that once went to support actual journalism.
Daily Kos has survived the ongoing collapse of the news media because we're different. We don't rely on big ad spending from major corporations or billionaire backers to make ends meet. Our biggest source of income is readers and activists like you each chipping in a few bucks at a time.
We like it that way because it keeps us accountable to you. But it does mean we need to ask for your support to meet our goals.
Please, if you haven't already, take a minute to chip in $5 to help us meet our July goal.
Thank you,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
