No fair! We have doubled our readership in the past year and our funding has dropped by 20%.
We pay our staff, our contributors and our suppliers. We are stretched to the breaking point because 45,000 people will come each day and fewer than 40 will contribute.
We love that you are here but we need your help to do this.
With significant urgency.
