Introducing: Political Wire Memberships

November 25, 2015 at 10:27 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

As a loyal Political Wire reader over the years, I wanted you to know about our new membership program.

It’s just in time for what promises to be a very exciting and possibly crazy election season!

Political Wire will always be freely available, but members will also receive:

  • Exclusive content. I’ve decided to stop nearly all writing for other publications to focus entirely on providing the best for Political Wire readers. This content will be available only to members directly on the site.
  • A direct channel to me. I want to make sure Political Wire serves your needs. I will work hard to earn your continued support by making it the best site on the web for following politics.
  • My deep and sincere thanks. It’s not easy to run an independent digital media property. Web advertising no longer aligns the interests of publishers, readers and advertisers. My ultimate goal is to reduce the number of ads and make the reader experience even better.

Other benefits will be added in the future.

Become a member for just $5 each month or $50 annually. You can easily cancel at any time.

Your support will make Political Wire even better!
