Paste Magazine rises from the grave because of reader donations

Jul. 16, 2009

This story gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over.  USA Today reports that music magazine Paste will continue its operations after receiving a staggering $250,000 in donations from its readers.  The magazine's ad revenue was falling and started a campaign last month soliciting donations.  Production will go on as scheduled Say what you will about the bands covered in Paste, this is a really fucking cool story that proves that print isn't quite dead yet.
