A letter to you from Editor Jack Haberer

Dear Pres-outlook.org Friend,

Like you, I love to access the information that's available for free on the Internet. Like you, I know it costs money for folks to report, edit and produce the news and commentary that informs me. 

We at The Outlook love providing the news and analysis, the resources and commentaries that you find helpful and informative. But it is costing us to do the research, the writing, the editing, and the layout. Even though we're a non-profit organization, we pay just as much as any other media for IT services, for reporters' travel, for staff salaries and benefits, and the like.

And the print readers’ annual subscription price of about $50 is covering only 40 percent of our actual costs. Advertisers provide about 40 percent more. But we need an additional $200,000 per year to cover the rest of our costs. 

If you’re a regular visitor to our Web site, would you join with the print subscribers by contributing $50, too? If you visit infrequently, perhaps you’d give $25.  Or even $10. 

Some of our subscribers contribute above their subscription price, about $110,000 in donations so far in 2010. In fact, we have formed circles in the Outlook Publishing Fellowship to recognize them:

  • The E.T. Thompson Circle: for those who give $2,500 or more
  • The Aubrey Brown Circle: for those who give $1,000 or more
  • The Director Circle: for those who give $500 or more
  • The Leader Circle: for those who give $250 or more
  • The Friend Circle:for all the others who give less than $250.

I’d love to add you to one of those circles. We sure will appreciate whatever you can give. 

Please keep The Presbyterian Outlook independent and stable and informative and helpful to you, to your church and to the whole Church of Jesus Christ.

In Christ’s service,

Jack Haberer
