The election-year battle for the economy should be simple: Obama has a jobs plan, and Romney does not. The president needs to be brutally clear on this point, and on the unambiguous choice Americans face in November, said Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel Sunday when she took part in the roundtable on ABC’s This Week, joined by former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd and former Obama economic adviser Austan Goolsbee. For undecided voters craving a government for the 99 percent, knowing what type of America each candidate is fighting for is paramount.

Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.
