When an organization does not have a corporate sugar daddy, or mommy, every fund-raising drive is the one that determines what the budget will be going forward. That's bad because we always stay hungry, but it's good because we always stay hungry. The logic of that is stark and unavoidable. Truth: We love it this way. Be a Reader Supporter, it feels great!

As long as most of you ignore the fundraising. The problem will mount. The situation is quite serious now. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
