Hey Travis, you've been subscribed for a while ago on our free level, and, since you are still with us, we're assuming you appreciate what we do. Which is awesome.

But here's the thing. Building independent media is hard, and our future is literally in the hands of our paying subscribers. We don't have millions of dollars in investment from private equity funds or venture capitalists.

We can build an independent, thriving publication, but only with the help of our readers.

So we are once again asking for your support. As an incentive, we're offering a special discount—20% off our monthly rate.

We know not everyone has the means to support us but if you can, please do. That makes it possible for 404 Media to continue doing the work we do. As a membership-funded site, we cannot do it without you.

When you subscribe, you get:

• Unlimited access to all our articles, ad-free.
• A full text RSS feed of our site.
• Commenting privileges on the site (the best of which we publish in our newsletter and respond to on a subscribers-only podcast).
• Access to “Behind the Blog,” our weekly series where we go long and personal on how we reported our own stories that week. This is delivered both as part of the weekly newsletter and as a paywalled article on the site.
• An ad-free version of our weekly podcast, with bonus content every week, as well as extra episodes including a subscriber-only Q&A where we answer questions and comments from 404 Media readers.
• Access to the “FOIA Forum,” an interactive digital event where we'll listen to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) ideas, and teach you how to file effective requests. Think of these as FOIA group projects. You'll learn about how to join these ahead of time via email, so stay tuned. A full archive of those streams is here, which you'll be able to dig into once you subscribe.
• The knowledge that you're supporting investigative and impact-focused journalism, as well as a journalist-owned independent business.

Thanks for considering supporting our mission.

Sincerely,

Joseph (and Sam, Emanuel, and Jason too)
