While I like to support independent journalists, it seems we need a more affordable platform to allow readers to reach more authors. There are likely hundreds of good journalists on Substack, but who could afford even 10 of them at 5 to 10 bucks a month, each? Limiting yourself to a few will rarely give you a decent perspective on the many serious issues we are facing today. I’m hoping that at some point, Substack would offer a “bundle” of authors, where per author it would be much less current charges, but authors could obtain far more subscribers. I’m no expert and I’m sure thee would be challenges to work out such a system, but it seems it would be better than what we have now.
good coverage and noting examples that highlights the concerns for the future of media. Will it be too late as trump continues use the power of the state to crush any questions to his authority. No more, stop the spread and support independent media!

I was thinking the same thing the other day! Glad you posted this. Maybe it’ll catch on!

Always get a lot from your reporting, Marie!
Glad you are here. Thank you for your work. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of things. Then I'm glad to have a guiding star like you.
You are too kind, but I'm honored to do what I can
