Microsoft Network
In three years the sprawling Microsoft Network has launched and killed more “Web shows” than most browsers can shake a URL at, including the recently axed travel magazine Mungo Park, while popular sites produced by Paramount and Disney recently dumped their exclusive MSN contracts in favor of the open Web. Among the survivors: Slate Magazine and Sidewalk. The current lineup:

@Watercooler
CarTalk
Microsoft CarPoint
Microsoft Cinemania
CMJ New Music Now
Computing Central
Encarta Online

and several International Affiliates.

WE'LL BE BLUNT:

We need to start raising significantly more in donations from our online community of readers, especially from those who read Mother Jones regularly but have never decided to pitch in because you figured others always will. We also need long-time and new donors, everyone, to keep showing up for us.

In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we explain, as matter-of-factly as we can, what exactly our finances look like, how brutal it is to sustain quality journalism right now, what makes Mother Jones different than most of the news out there, and why support from readers is the only thing that keeps us going. Despite the challenges, we're optimistic we can increase the share of online readers who decide to donate—starting with hitting an ambitious $300,000 goal in just three weeks to make sure we can finish our fiscal year break-even in the coming months.

Please learn more about how Mother Jones works and our 47-year history of doing nonprofit journalism that you don't find elsewhere—and help us do it with a donation if you can. We've already cut expenses and hitting our online goal is critical right now.
