So amazing! Just subscribed. Please let us know if there are things we can do (besides subscribe) to support local journalism. (Note: I hope the future of local journalism includes some form of audio eg podcasts.)
Thrilled to read this news. Congratulations! Stay safe! I grew up under the same Apartheid regime as Elon. However, my parents and grandparents were not Fascists and my private Catholic education taught me to think independently. Unions were illegal under Apartheid. Musk and Thiel must be champing at the bit to jail people like you. Please remember Steve Biko, you are now joining him in your fight for justice.
I’ve thought for many years that this is noble and necessary work, as long as it takes the right form for the times.
My next thought has always been- How about going to the ex-wives of Jeff Bezos and Bill
Gates to sponsor this effort? From what little I’ve read about them, it seems like a match to their values and the values of their foundations. Good luck!
whoa... some positive & optimistic news as it relates the future of the free press / journalism... Haven't felt that in a long time! Congrats on the new role.
I live in Hickory, NC. Is there anyway I could become a reporter for local news here? Not for our local paper, but perhaps something else? I'm no stranger to either research or writing.
Yay! More backbone for the trials ahead.
This is excellent news! Congratulations!!
Congrats!
Congrats! Will you still be writing on your substack?
Yes!! I’ll still be here.
This is great Matt! Congrats and thank you for doing this work.
