Thank you, readers! The
Spreading the News Campaign came to a successful conclusion Dec.
31, 2002. Your generous contributions have provided a stunning
$1.36 million to support High Country
News’ new media and intern programs.
With
your help, we’re reaching millions of Westerners: Radio High
Country News, our weekly half-hour show, is now broadcast on 31
stations in 10 states; hcn.org, our newly redesigned Web site,
receives more than a million visitors each year; Writers on the
Range, our syndicated column service, is published in 78 newspapers
across the West; and High Country News Service
provides in-depth news stories to dozens of papers regionwide. At
the same time, the High Country News Intern
Program brings six aspiring journalists to Paonia each year for a
crash course in environmental journalism.
None of this
would have been possible without your support. Thank you for
helping to keep this important dialogue — and this vibrant
Western institution — alive and kicking.
