This is a time of great upheaval in Canadian media. While
corporate-owned, ad-heavy, top-down media are stumbling, slashing
newsroom staff and local coverage, new and exciting media forms are
rushing in, finding cracks in the system and spreading deep roots from
which to grow.
That's where The Sasquatch comes in. And you can play a leading role in helping it thrive!
The Sasquatch – a new, independent print and online publication –
focusses on stories that affect you and that reflect discussions in
kitchens and living rooms across the province and around the country.
The Sasquatch tells stories that get swept under the rug by mainstream
media but that desperately need to see the light of day.
But to
succeed, The Sasquatch needs more subscribers. Please take a moment to
subscribe today at our discount, introductory rate.
This is
your chance to show your support for local, non-profit, independent
news. For only $20, you'll receive 8 biting issues of The Sasquatch
featuring thoughtful political analysis and important stories on
Saskatchewan life and politics that aren't being told elsewhere.
Here are 3 simple ways you can get involved:
1. Go to our online webstore at http://www.sasquatchnews.com/store
or call 1-866-431-5777 (525-2949 in Regina) right now to subscribe. Use
the coupon code "promoSasquatch" to receive our special introductory
rate.
2. "Attend" the Facebook event for this subscription drive. Invite your friends to attend, too.
3. Spread the word to your email networks, prefaced by a personal message encouraging them to subscribe.
We
need 250 new subscribers by the end of the summer in order to meet our
targets. Please take a moment to subscribe and spread the word right
now.
By subscribing to The Sasquatch, you are contributing to
healthy democratic debate, supporting the work of local freelance
writers and ensuring that underreported stories and marginalized voices
are heard.
Buying a subscription gets you a hard copy of The
Sasquatch delivered to your door every six weeks. Or buy a combo
package and get Briarpatch Magazine (http://www.briarpatchmagazine.com)
along with it. Or, if you'd prefer, just make a donation -- because, as
much as we wish it were otherwise, good media costs money.
Even
if you can't subscribe right now, or if you're already a subscriber,
please spread the word, tell your friends, browse our website and email
an article to your friends (or enemies!). Let them know that they can
choose media that gives priority to local news and that's hard-hitting
and meaningful to them.
Participating in our subscription drive
gives you the chance to give something back. Again, we need 250 new
subscribers by the end of the summer or we may have to scale back.
Every little bit helps, and we appreciate any and all of the support we
receive from our readers.
Check out what you'll be getting here: http://sasquatchnews.com/the-august-2009-issue/ and join us as we embark on this exciting independent media project!

p.s.
Important new initiatives like The Sasquatch sometimes fail in the
early stages because supportive, sympathetic people are slow to rally
to them. Please don't let that happen. Subscribe right now, and
encourage your friends to do the same.
p.p.s. Remember, use the
coupon code "promoSasquatch" to claim your introductory rate of $20
($45 for a combo subscription). DON'T WAIT -- SUBSCRIBE RIGHT NOW!
