| Good morning,
I want to tell you something important about RealClearPolitics and the family of RealClear news sites. If you’re like many of our readers, it’s something you may not be aware of.
Digital ad dollars have been cratering in recent years, and many prominent digital news websites have shut down. RealClear is persevering, in part, because of the financial support of our loyal readers.
Our readers support us through the RealClear Media Fund. RealClear Media Fund is the charitable (nonprofit/tax-exempt) giving hub for readers to help power non-partisan news aggregation and journalism at RealClearPolitics and across the RealClear family of websites.
I happen to be the guy responsible for letting you know that we depend on the support of readers like you. On that note, let me be the first to wish you a Happy Giving Tuesday. A gift to fundraisers like me, this made-up day marks the start of RealClear’s end-of-year charitable giving drive.
Our mission is to provide the American people with a news experience that is not only honest, accurate, and evenhanded—but one that is also free of charge.
While paywalls could help our bottom line, they would compromise our ability to promote a more informed public discourse and debate. We even make our investigations and other articles available to other news outlets to republish free of charge—again, with a focus on strengthening civil society by keeping the public well informed.
RealClear has a special mission in the media—and we invite our readers to help make it possible. I’m sure that many charities are coming to you with hat in hand this Giving Tuesday. As you choose which ones to support, please consider a gift to support non-partisan journalism at the RealClear Media Fund.
