This might sound all too familiar to those of you who’ve come across our own Save the Strib Campaign (a sincere thanks to Sonia and all those who’ve supported it, btw): Paste magazine is also now being open about its financial troubles and asking readers to support it. They’re offering special artist-donated prizes for anyone who helps. Click here to see their campaign.

While their situation squarely comes down to the loss of ad revenue from the recession (whereas ours is a little more complicated/corporate), the sad fact is all print publications are hurting, and I believe Paste — like the Strib, ahem – exemplifies a different kind of quality journalism you simply can’t get at most online-only sites/blogs (which certainly have their place, too).Â
