Magazine!
We need your help! Paste has been
very good to us and we hope that you can make a small contribution to help save
this magazine. For details please see below. For more details please clickhere.
Today, Paste Media Group, publisher
of the two-time National Magazine Award nominee Paste Magazine &
PasteMagazine.com, will launch an online fundraiser to keep the magazine
functioning in the midst of the global financial
recession.
As a completely independent
magazine, Paste has struggled for the past nine months as advertisers have
decided to wait on buying ads in response to the recession. Last month, cash
received unexpectedly reached an all-time low, and turned a tough situation into
a short-term crisis.
Rather than shut its doors, Paste is
launching a reader appeal today to help save the magazine. Many of the artists
who’ve been covered by Paste over the years—folks like us, The Spring Standards,
William Fitzsimmons, Ari Hest, Neko Case, The Decemberists, Of Montreal, She
& Him, Josh Ritter, The Avett Brothers, Brandi Carlile and the Indigo
Girls—have donated rare and exclusive tracks to give to anyone who donates to
the cause. Two of the tracks were recorded specifically for the campaign. Plus
Sixthman has donated an ocean-view cabin on next year's Cayamo Cruise, and bands
like R.E.M. and Band of Horses have donated signed posters to be given away to
random supporters.
While the current situation is dire,
long-term, Paste expects to emerge from the recession in good shape. 2008 was
the magazine’s best year across the board—print subscribers, print ads, online
readers and online advertising were all at record levels. PasteMagazine.com
consistently draws more than 900,000 visitors each month, and the magazine has
grown into the third largest rock magazine in the world. Meanwhile new
advertisers have come on board and more are ready to begin doing business when
their advertising budgets return.
Artists include us, The Spring
Standards, William Fitzsimmons, Ari Hest, The Decemberists, Neko Case, She &
Him, Cowboy Junkies, Of Montreal, Indigo Girls, Jayhawks, String Cheese
Incident, G. Love, Josh Rouse, The Hives, Matthew Sweet, The Avett Brothers, Joe
Henry, John Roderick of The Long Winters, Over the Rhine, Bob Mould, Arrested
Development, Brandi Carlile, John Doe, Josh Ritter, Marc Broussard and more. We
also have a number of goodies (such as signed R.E.M. and Band of Horses posters,
an ocean-view cabin on next year's Cayamo cruise, and more) to give to donors in
random drawings.
