---TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’------------
Dear Environmental Graffiti Member,
Just a message to let you know that times they are a changin’ here at EG…
Our goal was to create a sustainable business model and pay writers
based on our Graffiti Index. Unfortunately, the way the Graffiti Index
was structured meant it was inherently difficult to support the business
model: our values are quality above all else, but the Graffiti Index
paid most of you so little that it was barely worth your writing for us –
and some of our best writers have left. To those of you who stayed
despite this, thank you for sticking by us.
In light of this, at the end of the month we will be moving the site
back to the kind of magazine-style model long-term readers will know we
used a couple of years back. We’ll still be publishing great content
every day. In fact, we’re pretty sure there’s going to be more of it –
and that it’s going to only get better!
For those of you who would like to continue writing for us, you will need to
reapply by emailing editor@environmentalgraffiti.com, and from there we can
discuss how contributors will be reimbursed for their work.
We look forward to hearing from some of you very soon.
