You do amazing work with what you have. You need a 2-3 man operation to pump out the content in sufficient volume to make people want to pay. Also, I wouldn’t dismiss the idea of fundraising from your readership. I think subscribers would be just as hard to come by as donations once a quarter or so. Quarterly haranguing to a big enough audience might raise enough to keep you going. I would also think about fundraising around specific projects. You could plan a series on the Beltran Leyva Bros’ choice of private school for their children or some such storyline and harangue until you meet your $10,000 budget required to produce it. The only success I have had in raising funds was when I had a specific project that I could pitch and people could respond to on a personal level. As if they were personally invested in producing and consuming the project …

Hola Michel, Me too…what they said. Well, not about paying $25, but your plan is a good one and you’re doing a good job.

as a former long haired penchi pocho who dabbled in the bizz back in the day running smoke with back packs and 450 desert master husquvarnas across the deserts of az,nm and tejas. its intresting to me to see how things have changed from long haired independents and the free mexican airforce to the blood lust of today. well you cant put the geni back in the bottle and who knows what the real answer is. but your web site is with out a doubt my fav. I still travel from nor cal to Nayarit and Michocan and BAJA enjoy the surf, people and the country I feel a certin kinda freedom in mex that I dont feel in the states anymore. and yes the DEA ended my carear. all though I feel some of them are just as crooked as the people they deal with. I could tell you some good storys, time served and lesons learned moveing foward. and as for the pay site well not all of us are made of gold but I would be willing to pay a little something. but most of all BE CAREFULL some of those people have no sence of humor down there. keep up the good work and Im sure things will work themselves out. peace.
PS Ive clicked on your avertisments but I guess that wasnt enough bummer.

I’m down to pay, but I need value. The more you charge the more material I want to see. The Homeland Security and ICE stories are good, but I need inside news on the narco frontlines. This is like the italian mafias of the late 80′s early 90′s and I don’t want to wait for “Goodfellas” to come out to get the stories. This site is great. My friends and family go to Mexico all the time and when I show them the stories and photos that this site provides their jaws drop. This site brings journalism that NOBODY else can provide. Ever since Obama went to Mexico back in April, local and national news has ignored what is happening down south. This is a great free site, but if your charging my expectations are going to change as well. However is goes, thanks for what you have done… Great read

If you establish a fee, be sure to include an option for more than $3.

I’m in for at least $10.
