A quick note on our annual membership drive. It kicks off tomorrow. We have a very ambitious goal. Normally we really lean into it; I do a lot of posts about it. It’s kind of a thing and it works and it’s great. But precisely the things that I believe make TPM so important right now also have us slammed trying to cover it all. I certainly feel slammed trying to keep up with multiple different streams of reporting while also trying to write pieces which provide some perspective and a broader view of what’s happening. So, just to be totally candid, if you can help us make this drive a success while letting just keep on the reporting that would be awesome … If you’re not a member, please consider subscribing. If you are a member, please help us spread the word – both about TPM and the fact that we’re in our annual drive. Perhaps I flatter us but I think what we do is more important now than it has ever been, both because of the crisis of the moment and because the larger tides of that crisis have knocked the posts out of under so many of the big bulwarks of American journalism. I want us not only to continue to do what we do but do more of it. And to do that we need to keep focused on our core reporting in the short and remain robust and up to the challenge of upping our game over time. I hope you can support us during this drive in whatever way make sense, depending on whether you’re currently a member or not. Thank you.
