Many loyal readers have subscribed to National Review for longer than I’ve been alive. That loyalty matters, especially to young conservative writers like myself, navigating a sea of media opportunities as we begin our careers.
Flashier publications than NR exist. But none have such a devoted family of readers. To those of you who have followed this magazine and online publication through its many incarnations and stuck with us through each one: your trust in NR inspires us to fight and work harder, every day. And your support during our fall fundraiser makes that work possible.
We’ve recently hit the $55,000 mark thanks to more than 500 generous readers. It’s a blast to read your thoughts, prayers, and advice in the webathon comments. One reader writes that “NR helped shape my political philosophy, starting in 1971”; another says, “You’re the very best, for the very best cause”; yet another gives Rich a hard time for his “game ruining opinions about baseball” (his opinions on food are worse).
NR isn’t just where I work, and it’s not just where you get your news. It’s a home for those of us willing to fight the good fight, no matter if that fight is unpopular or inconvenient. Your generosity keeps NR in the ring — so please, if you can, consider contributing to our mission.
