Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Have you guys ever considered making punknews donation based? It seems to work for a lot of labels, so I'd be curious if it would work for you guys.

A: I can't say if it has ever been considered but I can say I've never heard about it, if it has. It's an interesting concept but then it makes us (in some ways) more beholden to the reader. Which sounds okay but if we say post a story about Cobra Starship and people go, "Well fuck this, I'm not donating anymore," it puts us in a very difficult situation. When people actively pay/donate for something they tend to want it to be something they'll like all the time.

No one is going to stop reading because we post a story they dislike (sometimes this has even resulted in interesting conversations), but they might not donate, and that would put us in a bit of a bind. Currently we have ads that have no impact on what we say or do, and that's not a bad deal.
