[quadrangle]

I support ad-free journalism, such as Democracy Now or journalism organizations like the Freedom of the Press Foundation. I haven't actually done all the homework I'd like to do in order to identify an ideal list of all the journalism (particularly local!) that is at least as good as I can find.

I didn't mean to suggest that we should insist on ad-free before donating at all, but it's a concern. I'm more inclined to donate when there's no ads, and when there are ads, I'm extra hesitant.

I also don't like paywalls. So, really, I'm thinking about how to highlight and support the free-to-all work that is also uncompromised by ads. That's what most deserves and needs support.
