I HATE FUNDRAISING AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT: Funding is an absolute must, we have to have it. That said, the process of raising “the money” does a lot of bad things. It pulls us away from focusing on what we are here to do, what we want to do: Report. We do it because we must. The price of capitalism. One nice thing that happens during fundraising is that we get to know our readers. You write in with questions, requests and concerns. In the process of responding to you we “meet” you. And that’s good. The July fund raiser is off to a slow start, your attention would be greatly appreciated. Sincere thanks. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
