Reader Support

Short version: AJ fans have asked for ways to support our independent journalism beyond subscribing and buying merch. These reader patronage options let you do just that. Please note the amount is per month.

Long version: Stephen here. That’s me in the picture, along with my wife Joni, who’s the co-owner of AJ and its art director. We’re normal people with good values trying to make the world better through the celebration of adventure and time spent outside.

It’s no secret that control of the media is concentrating in richer and richer hands. Independent, high-quality publications like AJ are rare and getting rarer. We will continue to publish with integrity, respect for readers and advertisers, and commitment to our values. And please know your support makes a big difference.

Thanks,

Cas
