Dear Narativ Community,
As we enter this holiday season, I want to extend warm wishes to you and your loved ones. I am also reaching out with an important appeal for your continued support of Narativ.
We face significant challenges: active content suppression, rising operational costs, and aging equipment that has served us for eight years. These pressures have forced us to make difficult decisions, including losing access to our 500-episode archive on Apple Podcasts and canceling several subscriptions. These changes short-change the historical record and limit our reach but are unavoidable at current revenue levels.
To ensure Narativ's sustainability, our membership fees are increasing slightly to $9 monthly or $90 annually for new subscribers. The increasing suppression on platforms like X means that our mailing list has become our primary channel for reaching our audience. Still, it also means reaching new audiences is more challenging, so wherever possible, tell others about Narativ online and IRL.
The stakes are high. Our weekly reporting consistently shifts critical narratives in defense of democracy. Without Narativ's voice, a crucial perspective on understanding and protecting democracy would be lost.
In the coming days, you will receive opportunities to invest in gift subscriptions, a meaningful way to share our work with friends and family. We are also inviting our free subscribers to consider becoming paid supporters.
We understand there are many demands on your attention and resources, but for $9 a month, you will be investing in content that will help secure democracy for decades to come.
Thank you for being so supportive, and happy holidays!
