Hey Frendz!
I love that you’re here. Your support means so much to this canine correspondent.
We all know typical media doesn’t feel as trustworthy as it once did. News fatigue is real, too. Sometimes watching the glowing rectangle TV box or reading an online news site can feel like a lot, every day.
That’s why this doggo does what I do, with a little help from my hooman editorial team: My Dad-Editor who is a pro-journo and editor, and Ma, as my chief operations officer of the homefront (aka chaos coordinator).
JournoDog is my attempt to make journalism a little more approachable, a little more fun and hopefully a little less depressing and cringy.
And we can’t do this without you.
No one likes paywalls, but journalism and independent digital media (even when it’s created by a dog) costs money. So we gotta earn a living somehow to keep the newsroom running.
Please consider giving some snuggs and tail-wags of support. You can subscribe for free, or support JournoDog on Substack for just a small bite of cheese. Every bit helps me sniff the sniffs and dig up scoops (of food) for you all.
What does your support go to?
- Helping me stay healthy and happz to sniff the sniffs, wherever the scoops take me.
- Keeping the lights on in this dog house, including the WiFi beams that keep me connected to the Interwebz.
- The gadgets, tools, and software that help when my sniffer, paws, or wagging tail aren’t enough.
- Cheese, chmkn, treats and kibble to keep me energized enough to unbury ledes.
- And, of course, keeping my hooman editorial team happz, healthy, well-fed, and watered, too. Good canine correspondents need reliable editors, too.
How much chmkn or cheese?
As a dog, my answer is simple: As much as possible!
Realistically, though, I get it. Another subscription. One more thing people are asking you to support. It all adds up. That’s why your support is intentionally low-cost.
Sure, I do have some JournoDog rates that can be shared for specific projects, collaborations, and consultations. But for wveryone ekse, here’s how you can directly support what I do:
Toss JournoDog A Bone!
Here is how you can keep our nose to the ground and the fresh news fetched:
- Sniff around for free on Substack.
- Buy JournoDog a monthly chew toy ($5/month).
- Unleash extra paw-perks with a top-dog memebership (if your pocketbook and love for dogs or independent media inspires you).
- Bark about it! Share with your fave furry frendz or hoomans.
However you can support JournoDog, it’s huge and means everything. And just maybe, with your support, JournoDog can make journalism approachable and inspire people to give credible news and media another chance.
So many tail-wags your way, and all the kisses and snugs to go with it!
