Our annual donations campaign is wrapping up on Sunday and I wanted to take this final opportunity to again thank everyone who has made a contribution this year. And for anyone who still wants to give you still can.
Every year we are blown away by the support from readers like you, and this year, with things a little tougher than usual, we are especially grateful. So far we have received more than 19,000 individual donations and we are 90% of the way to reaching our fundraising target.
This incredibly generous contribution is vital to us – it goes straight to building our editorial team and expanding our coverage. This year with help from readers we launched a popular new newsletter for Books and Ideas and expanded our coverage of the net zero transition.
We are also now in the final stages of hiring two talented new cadets to help with our coverage of health and technology. We created these new roles, with your generous support, because we think it’s important to contribute to training and developing the next generation of journalists who are passionate about providing reliable, trustworthy and impartial journalism.
We just couldn’t do any of this without you, so thank you.
