New subscription status for Jim Hightower's Substack

Hey everyone!

DZ, the Hightower tech nerd here. We’ve been hard at work the past few months, working on a variety of improvements in how we handle our digital content. As with many writers and nonprofit organizations, providing free content everywhere all the time has taken its toll on our already-miniscule budget, and we’re beginning to experiment more with paid subscription models. Our publication accepts no corporate advertising, nor any government grants, on any of our platforms, and we’re keeping it that way! Thus, all of our work is 100% reader- and listener-supported.

That means…

We’re now asking you to pay for Substack content. Twice weekly, you’ll get Hightower’s latest and greatest, with the audio version of each post to boot. We’ll also be rolling out additional products, like our award-winning monthly newsletter, along the way, so stay tuned for that! Paid subscribers will also have the ability to comment on posts, and we’re really eager to hear what Substackers have to say. (So is Hightower— he’s not a big digital guy himself, but we share with him every email and comment you write in, and he loves hearing from you.)

We’re really excited to see where Substack and the community here take us— and as always, thank you for being in this fight with us.
