You were able to read this today without having to pay a subscription to get past a paywall, or put up with a webpage cluttered with ads, because some segment of our regular readers chip in to our editorial budget. We call these readers Tyee Builders, and they make up between 1 to 2 percent of our regular readership. (And if you are one of them, thank you!)
And that 1 to 2 percent makes all the difference. Revenue from Tyee Builders makes up about half of our non-profit newsroom's entire budget, and it means we can pay our talented journalists to report stories in the public interest, and we can distribute our work for free to all who want to read it.
