The investigative newsroom I work for, @ProPublica, is raising money right now. We report on abuses of power in the public interest - stories like corruption on the Supreme Court. It was the first outlet to win a Pulitzer for web-first journalism. And if you donate through this link, you'll let our team know that Mastodon is an audience to pay attention to. https://give.propublica.org/give/346528/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=mstdn #journalism #fediverse #mastodon

@ben @ProPublica Pay no attention to the trolls! 🙄

We need to normalize people asking for money for journalism on Mastodon. Period. End of story. No additional preamble or context required. The End.

Thanks for all you do! 👏

@jaredwhite @ben @ProPublica There's something people really do need to understand. Journalism done well has costs. The way you offset those costs is to give money. You can do that with subscriptions or you can do that with donations, but there still is no such thing as a free lunch. And Mastodon doesn't get a pass on this because it's flexing its anticapitalist muscles right now.
