The Montserrat Reporter needs your support

Please Donate to The Montserrat Reporter, owned and published by Montserrat Printing & Publishing Inc.: You come and are here once again, but, maybe for the first time …But, this is so well overdue, because we always believed that this might be the only way we will be able to continue to provide the service we have been doing under extremely difficult circumstances for several years now. We know we provide a service to the world different from many in our region, but we are also aware it could be so much better. It is a big favour we ask. For a very long time we have continued, knowing that our output has not been meeting our own expected standard; much less that as expected by those who have been with us as far back as 1996 when we presented ourselves online. We have been suffering and underproducing because of lack of resources, and revenues. What we have noticed for a long time now, is that people continue to read The Montserrat Reporter and we know that there is much more that can be done – only it requires resources now, to even continue to the point where we can feel our effort is worth it. One major newspaper says: “…investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters…” This is also true for us, and while some may not be aware, we believe that many readers share this view. We are online but we are must also print. That’s because we believe it is more democratic and important for the media to be available for ALL, as the people’s college. A newspaper must not become just a marketing operation or a luxury magazine, a specialist commodity to be purchased by a few. That’s also why our online presence is open access. We join with many other public-spirited newspapers: “We haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can.” But, for a long time now, we have needed to ask for help. Please make a contribution that will help us to be more and better productive. The bottom line for us is that, unless we receive your support our effort will not be able to continue. Whatever and however you can, please support The Montserrat Reporter in whatever amount you can (and whatever frequency) – and it only takes a minute. Thank you. Bennette Roach Editor
