Are you counting on Vox this election year?

Hello,

January was a whirlwind start to the 2024 election cycle. In just one month, we dug deep on the history of the Iowa caucuses (and why it matters that Iowa is or isn't the first in the nation), looked back at how the January 6 riot changed the Republican Party, and saw the end of more than one hopeful's presidential campaign. More and more, it's looking like we're entering into the general election in record time.

Here's the thing: No one can predict exactly where this year will go. Election years always require news media to be quick on our feet, and this one will be no exception. Vox's whole newsroom, including our writers and editors, audio team, and video team, are planning to be here all year, ready to cover the twists and turns of 2024 with the same clarity, nuance, and analysis that we're known for — and one way you can help us to stay nimble is by becoming a contributor.

Yes, I'll contribute

As much as we try to make our budget decisions in advance, some of the projects that will pop up this year will require a swift investment — whether that means reassigning a journalist or producing a last-minute podcast episode. Knowing that we can count on our contributors makes it easier for us to say yes when these moments arrive.

If you've enjoyed any of our journalism this month, or if you're among the many teachers, students, and other readers counting on us to help make sense of this election, I hope you'll consider making a contribution today. Plus, if you sign up to become a recurring supporter, we'll show our gratitude by giving you access to special content, including tutorials on how we make our videos, a monthly behind-the-scenes newsletter with notes from our journalists, and virtual Q&As with our staff.

Thank you, as always.

The team at Vox
