I joined I joined The American Prospect in mid-October as president and publisher. I was delighted to work with Bob Kuttner, Mark Schmitt, and the rest of our talented staff to produce some of the highest quality journalism available anywhere this election cycle. We’ve been rewarded to see our magazine grow dramatically in terms of its online readership over these last few months. For your continued readership during this exciting season, I can’t thank you enough. Of course, the point of this post is to ask you for a bit more -- a donation to support our work. As some of our other posters have noted, this is truly The American Prospect’s moment. We exist as a sort of bridge between seasoned writers, journalists, and advocates who have been covering progressive politics for decades and new, fresh ideas from some of the best voices on the Web. To continue to bring you some of the best content on the Web and in print, we need your support. Will you consider a donation of $25, $50, $100, or more to support our work in 2009? I am by far not the most eloquent writer who graces our Web site. You’ll continue to hear from some of our writers over the next week about why it’s important to support progressive media, especially as the center of power here in Washington shifts to a new administration that brings with it great hope for our shared agenda. I hope that you’ll consider making a gift to us this year. --George Slowik Jr., President and Publisher of The American Prospect
