Newshound Fund-raising — 2008/09

On October 1 the Newshound began its 13th year. Again, this year's Newshound was thanks in large part to your subscriptions, which sustain the site.

Before asking for your subscriptions for the coming year I want to alert you that 2009 will see changes in the Newshound. What those changes will be is not certain yet, but a new look, new features and a tie-in with a bigger web site are all possibilities. What won't change is the editorial policies that have made the Newshound a success since 1996.

Some of you have already subscribed again. Thank you for your generosity. I will be updating the patrons page in the coming days.

If you haven't subscribed, please do. Those who subscribe $100 (£50 or €70) will get listed on the patrons page. You don't have to subscribe $100, however. Subscribe as much as you can, and if (or when) your subscriptions total $100 over time, you'll get listed when you reach that mark.

If you have any difficulty using PayPal's credit card facility, please let me know. This might help.

Of course, I can provide you with a receipt if you require one.
