Microsoft Network
In three years the sprawling Microsoft Network has launched and killed more “Web shows” than most browsers can shake a URL at, including the recently axed travel magazine Mungo Park, while popular sites produced by Paramount and Disney recently dumped their exclusive MSN contracts in favor of the open Web. Among the survivors: Slate Magazine and Sidewalk. The current lineup:

@Watercooler
CarTalk
Microsoft CarPoint
Microsoft Cinemania
CMJ New Music Now
Computing Central
Encarta Online
Microsoft Expedia.com
Expedia Maps
Getworking
Hotmail
Internet Gaming Zone
Microsoft Internet Start

Mama Planet
Mauny’s Kitchen
The Microsoft Plaza
Microsoft Money Insider
MSBET
MSNBC

One Click Away

UnderWire
and several International Affiliates.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

December is make or break for us. A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. A strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength. A weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again today—any amount.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
