OtherWords shares unconventional perspectives with readers across the nation — and we couldn’t do it without you. Thanks to our strong networks of editors and supporters, we can help people look at the day’s great debates from new angles — especially folks who live in places like Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and Devils Lake, North Dakota, where community newspapers play a crucial role.
Won’t you commit to supporting OtherWords today, so we can keep providing this vital service?
I’m proud that, thanks to supporters like you, OtherWords does it part to fill two kinds of gaps: the variety created by tight newsroom budgets and another one created by the groupthink that sometimes afflicts newspaper op-ed sections.
Please make a year-end tax-deductible contribution to support OtherWords if you are able to do so. Even better, consider becoming a sustaining donor today. Whether you can spare $10 or $10,000, your tax-deductible gift will help guarantee our ability to deliver independent, newsroom-ready, and innovative ideas to online and print editors across the nation.
