I've Decided To Become A Full-Time Journalist
I can only make this scary career jump thanks to all of you.
It’s official: I wanted you all to be the first to know that I have decided to pursue a career in journalism as my full-time job. This is one of the scariest decisions I have made, but I know that it is the right one. My primary form of communicating with you all will be through this Substack, and so this article will outline exactly what you should expect (whether a free or paid subscriber). Truth be told, the only reason I am able to make this career jump is because of your support. Paid subscribers help give me the stability to provide accurate, timely news, and so, if you want to become a paid subscriber today, just click the button below:
Moving forward, here is what you should expect if you are a free subscriber versus a paid subscriber. One of my biggest pet peeves growing up was having to pay to get around a paywall for news. That’s why none of the news I provide you will ever be behind a paywall.
Free Subscribers:
You will get access to two daily news rundowns, one in the morning and one in the evening. The morning rundown will be released by 10:00 AM EST on the weekdays and by noon on the weekends. The evening rundown will be released by 5:30 PM EST on the weekdays and by 6:30 PM EST on thew weekends.
These rundowns will be in both video and text form. Traditionally, they will be full video updates with a bullet point list of the news I cover. If I am traveling, like I am today, the video updates will likely be text-only.
Paid Subscribers:
You will get access to all of the perks of a free subscriber, but you will also get special access to paid-subscriber only lives with me. The goal will be to host at least one paid-subscriber live per week where I chat with you and answer any questions you have. The first paid subscriber live will be tomorrow, February 11th, at 9:00 PM EST.
You will get access to the exclusive Parnas Perspective thread where you can post and build community with other paid subscribers.
You will get access to exclusive paid subscriber only posts that will come out several times per week. These will not just be news based. I will also be providing my legal analysis on critical topics and my personal analysis of the craziness in the world, from a Gen Z lens.
Over the next several weeks, as I make the transition, I plan on adding perks to those who become paid subscribers to make the subscription worthwhile. Your support is invaluable to me, and I am forever grateful for the platform you have given me. My commitment to you is that I will always provide the truth: whether good, bad, or ugly. I will hold our leaders accountable in pursuit of that truth.
With that, I will be back tomorrow morning for your morning news rundown. Thank you again.
I am not paying as a subscriber to get the extra goodies. I am paying because I believe it is very important to have independent journalism and after being a free subscriber for several weeks, I decided to support your work, which I appreciate.
Makes sense. You were already doing it 25 hours per day! 😀
