Dear friends,
I’m cutting a new annual subscription to Narativ by 60% until midnight Monday — $56 for the year instead of $140. And I’m holding that price forever. The clock runs to midnight ET Monday. Then the price snaps back.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, and my reporting has become invaluable to many of you struggling to understand these times. As everyday life in America gets more expensive, a lot of you can’t afford another increase. So I’m not asking for one.
A strong democracy requires an informed populace. If all you’re being armed with is propaganda, then we become the impediment to our own mission.
Media consolidation is leaving fewer and fewer places for the truth. Every dollar we earn from you goes directly into our productions and data-driven investigations which are costly and time consuming.
At $56 a year you pay $4.67 a month. Substack won’t let anyone charge less than $5 a month. This sits below their own floor. It does not go lower than this.
Every investigation, every show, the whole archive. The Narativ intelligence brief every morning, FiveStack every weekday at 3, Narativ Live and Breaking News as it happens. We published 120 posts in the last thirty days.”
Narativ is information, and it’s also a community — one we’re building to be open to all. If you can afford the higher rate, I’d encourage you to let someone less fortunate get in first. There are 250 of these.
This one’s for the readers who’ve been telling themselves they’d subscribe eventually. Eventually is this weekend.
It’s my gift to you.
Z
Three days. Midnight ET Monday. Gone after that.
