MoJo’s own Kevin Drum is moderating the keynote Netroots Nation panel on “Building a 21st Century Economy”—with New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, Change to Win Chair Anna Burger and economist Dean Baker—at noon on Saturday. Rumor has it that C-Span may pick up the feed; you can also check out the live video below. While you wait, why not browse some of MoJo’s fine economics coverage—Kevin‘s pieces on cap and trade and bank nationalization, James Galbraith on why the stimulus isn’t big enough, David Corn‘s expose of Phil Gramm’s role in bringing about the financial crisis, Nomi Prinstimeline of the debacle, and last but not least David Cay Johnston‘s modest proposal for fixing the tax code.

Owned by no one—except you.

We just keep seeing it happen: Newsrooms owned by billionaires and corporations are spinning their own narratives, overwriting the truth, following only stories that keep them in the pocket of those with even more power.

Not here. We’re not owned by anyone. We’re not part of any cult that demands our allegiance to a bottom line. We’ve spoken up and spoken out while other newsrooms changed their stories—or cut them altogether—to keep the C suite happy.

Our mission is to find the truth and amplify it. That’s why we’re independent, nonprofit, and, crucially, funded by readers. The investigations on our website will always be free to read, watch, and listen to, but our newsroom is powered by readers who pitch in what they can so we can keep asking the hard questions.

Can you chip in today?
