Support Local Independent Journalism Hey there, As a regular reader of Monterey County Weekly and Monterey County NOW, and an informed member of the community, you have no doubt realized that the economic model of journalism has changed radically in the recent past. In the media landscape of today, the Weekly and NOW rely on reader support to fulfill our mission. We’re thrilled that 3,641 readers have already supported us with financial contributions. Thank you. These are your friends and neighbors, and you can find their names in these pages. This is a group that has earned the moniker Weekly Insiders. We’d like you to consider joining them and help us grow this community. Please help us hit our target of 400 new Insiders in April by contributing at the amount that works for you. Every little bit helps, and with your support we can keep making a positive impact in Monterey County. Click on insider.montereycountyweekly.com to sign up, or use the form here to send in a check. This isn’t begging, this isn’t charity, this is a collection of people recognizing the value of local journalism and choosing to help underwrite the costs. If you become a Weekly Insider before the end of April, your first month’s contribution will be matched, dollar for dollar. But wait, there’s more: If you join before the end of April at the $15-per-month level (or above!) we’ll send you a stylish “Totally Locally” Squid reusable shopping bag with our sincere appreciation.
