Since 1999, PopMatters’ talented staff has been publishing smart entertaining articles on a wide range of topics in pop culture, providing a refuge from the usual hype and gossip. We do this, on a shoe-string budget, thanks to our talented, educated, culturally-engaged contributors and the support of our readers.
But costs are rising while advertising revenue continues to decline. We need your help to continue publishing PopMatters as we consistently strive to improve your reading experience.
