Today marks the end of our annual donations campaign and I want to thank everyone who has so generously supported The Conversation. Despite uncertain economic times, more than 73,000 people have made a donation to The Conversation this financial year and it makes a huge difference.
The faith you have placed in us is humbling. It obliges us all to redouble our efforts to deliver on the type of journalism you have come to expect from The Conversation – timely, rigorous, transparent and powered by deep academic expertise.
We know you will hold us to this high standard and we intend to do everything in our power to meet it and deliver on our mission to make reliable information freely available for those who need it most. Thank you again for your public-spirited support.
