HELP EZRA HELP US ALL. 'Tis the season for liberal magazine fundraising drives. This month we've been running a donation campaign through our weekly email subscriber list to raise funds for our writing fellow program and other projects here at the Prospect. And we wanted to make sure Tapped readers got a chance to kick in some dough as well, if they're so inclined.
You all know who our current writing fellow is. It's Ezra. Check him out, determined and focused, spreading liberal light at his usual million-words-per-minute clip:
To be frank, Ezra doesn't get paid much. He's here because he cares. And the Prospect isn't a money-making juggernaut. We absolutely depend on reader donations to keep the magazine, the website, and our various projects -- like the writing fellow program -- going. Only a portion of our money comes from subscribers. For the rest, we rely on you.
Alumni of the writing fellows program include Nick Confessore, Mark Greif, Chris Mooney, and most recently Matt Yglesias. If you enjoy what you read here and want to see more of it, consider making a donation. (It's tax-deductible.) Do right by Ezra.
UPDATE: More past fellows: Noy Thrupkaew, Jed Purdy, Ayelish McGarvey, Drake Bennett, Mark Leon Goldberg, Natasha Hunter, Kate Cambor, Alex Gourevitch, Richard Just, Laura Maggi...
