Starting with this version, Slate will be implementing our metered paywall in our iOS app.
We will be asking our most loyal readers—those of you who use our iOS app—to help keep making our work possible by joining our membership program, Slate Plus.
Slate Plus is not new. It launched seven years ago, and it has become a very important part of how we sustain our business—and how we think about our relationship to readers and listeners. (If you are reading this as a member, thank you! Nothing is changing for you or your membership.)
Becoming a Slate Plus member is the absolute best way to back the journalism we do. And the benefits are clear: not only all the articles you want to read (with a cleaner reading experience) but also ad-free podcasts and bonus show content.
Becoming a member is also the best way to help us shape that journalism. We get to learn more about what you’d like to see more (and less) of, and you get to know us better, too: through special events and reader-feedback sessions and the like. A publication that relies more fully on its subscribers is a publication that serves them better. And Slate has always wanted to be the sort of place that’s in a kind of perpetual conversation with its audience.
Up till now, Slate has provided almost all of its written work in the iOS app for free. But going forward, we think the way we will truly thrive is by continuing to diversify our revenue—by asking readers like you to support us more directly. In the coming months, some of our most engaged visitors will be prompted to join Slate Plus in order to keep reading articles in the app.
Subscribing will cost $58.99. There’s also a two-week free trial if you want to think about it a little while longer.
Thank you again for being a loyal Slate reader and listener. Making Slate for you is what’s exciting about making Slate in the first place.
And please consider joining Slate Plus if you haven’t, so that we can continue bringing Slate to you tomorrow.
