This week is your last opportunity to take advantage of the special May-June subscription offers to Green Left Weekly.
We are offering a discounted rate for 44 issue (one year) subscriptions and a special reward deal for current subscribers who sell a subscription or buy one for a friend.
A large subscription base ensures the financial stability of an independent, alternative newspaper such as Green Left, because being independent also means no government funding nor big business backing. We rely on income from sales of the paper, subscriptions, and donations.
Donations (although most definitely welcome) cannot be predicted, street sales (although they are the bulk of our income) can be affected by external variants such as the weather. So, on a week to week basis, subscriptions are the most reliable income source.
By taking advantage of either or both of these offers, you are contributing to keeping an independent and progressive media voice in Australia, sorely needed in these times of intense concentration of media ownership. See page 7 for details. Green Left Weekly — it's your paper.
