We Do Not Need A Windfall, But We Desperately Need a Budget

RSN runs on a fraction of what it takes to run the major corporate newsrooms. We do on a shoe string what majors require hundreds of millions to achieve.

We can do great things with a modest budget. But without it we cannot function.

Need some assistance, ASAP.
