A Wee Question

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.


Can someone please explain to me why a supposedly sophisticated magazine like the Economist continues to insist on the juvenile practice of refusing to byline blog posts?  I know, I know, voice of God blah blah blah.  But seriously.  Isn’t it time to grow up and enter the 21st century?  After all, the whole point of the blog format is to highlight personal voices.  I know I’d link to them more often if I knew who I was conversing with.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
