Why we love our readers

Hi Peter,
We love Phoenix and the people who support our work. I mean, take that as you will — but I’ll tell you why.
Whether you’ve just been a reader of Phoenix New Times, supported us financially, or even both, our newsroom couldn’t have gotten to where we are today without YOU. But we haven’t taken that for granted, as our reporters and editors continue to work hard to bring you the same fearless journalism that you expect from us day after day.
And it shows. As much as we appreciate you, we love hearing how we’ve impacted your lives, your friends’ or family’s lives, and the lives of Phoenicians — who, as you know, still get to read our work for free.
Just take it from Ennis, who told us: “Facts are the most important point. Focusing on Phoenix, Maricopa County and the State of Arizona is not only important for those of us living here, but also the entire country.”
Or maybe you’re like Lena, who said: “I love your articles and the food section has made a great impact on our lives!”
We feel privileged to make a difference in your life. And certainly if you’d like — especially with Valentine’s Day around the corner — there’s still time to show a little love for Phoenix New Times.
We know you’ve helped us out before — thank you! We’d love to hear why you’re such a fan of Phoenix New Times. Please consider an additional contribution today and leave us a mash note (or a friendly critique, totally up to you).
In all seriousness, we really appreciate your continued dedication to our newsroom. Your support lets everyone read New Times. In return, our reporters will keep being your eyes and ears on the ground — in city hall, the local dining scene, culture venues, and all around the Valley.

Sincerely,
Sam Eifling
Editor-in-Chief
