And now a brief chat with new supporter Patrick G.!

Hi, Patrick! When did you start reading TMN? I started reading in 2012: I was forwarded a Paul Ford piece by a friend (“Heaven Can Wait”—still one of my all-time favourites) and stuck around since then.

Oh, we love that piece—terrific! What keeps you reading? The Morning News has a good mix of “news of the day”-type links and long-form pieces that I really enjoy. The steady cadence of posts (and breaks) feels like the antithesis to the constant hysteria of modern media, and I really appreciate that.

Any particular reason you decided to support today? I feel like the independent web is special and hope it sticks around, and I’m happy to do anything I can to help that. Thanks so much for all the years of great reading. (2012! Ack!)
