openDemocracy is launching a new Friends scheme

To be independent and influential openDemocracy must stand on its own feet. Yet it is an important principle that openDemocracy is free to read for anyone around the world, whether rich or poor. It follows that those who read and use openDemocracy should volunteer some of the costs, with other income from advertising and the independent sections. With a total budget of £300,000 compared to the millions spent by comparable magazines and websites, this does not need to be much.
