The Believer, The Optimist and the sugar daddy

Peter Carlson, on The Believer (or The Optimist, as it was originally called): “the Believer has survived for two years despite the fact that it contains no ads and costs $8 a copy and is impossible to pigeonhole. Or maybe it has survived because it’s impossible to pigeonhole.”

At the risk of being “snarky”, we’d like to suggest that maybe it has survived because it’s not profitable but continues to be financed anyway. We don’t know that, but we’re guessing it’s a possibility. Any info? fishbowlNY@mediabistro.com.
