This is a bummer. The great ‘zine Stay Free! is about to stop publishing. If you’re not familiar with SF!, then you’ve been missing out on a fun, intellectually curious indie mag that walks the fine line between critiquing consumerism and mass media and appreciating pop culture. It came out sporadically, but each issue was packed with smart interviews and articles on advertising, psychology, conspiracy theories, and pranks. It also did some great ad parodies, assuming the culturejamming mantle shrugged off by Adbusters when it decided that a sense of humor can’t break windows at Starbucks. Sadly, the financial woes that have beset the rest of the words-on-dead-trees biz have affected SF! as well, and so it’s going blog-only after its next issue. It’s a shame—I’ll miss having issues show up unpredictably in my mailbox. But you can still read—and buy—back some issues here. The Stay Free! blog is still worth checking out, too. But it just won’t be the same…

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
