Published 24 November 202129 November 2021 · Main Posts / Subscriberthon 2021 Making room for the political and critical | Subscriberthon 2021 Editorial team By subscribing to Overland, you’re also supporting our daily online magazine. This has a different rhythm to its print sibling: it has more immediacy, and usually makes room for shorter pieces, but it aspires to the same critical and political outlook. It also allows us to create more opportunities for emerging writers to get published, which is an important part of what we do. Our contributors are also (some of) our readers, and so going through the submissions is an education into what the people who like Overland are interested in. It tells us what you like to read and what you like to watch and what are the struggles and causes that you care about the most. I can honestly say there is only one downside: it’s rare that I get to the end of a TV show before someone has spoiled it. But otherwise, it’s an absolute privilege. I hope you’ll choose to renew your subscription or take out a new one, and that the work we’re putting out this week will make that decision easier. But know that the pieces we don’t publish and those we almost publish are also a part of what makes Overland. In solidarity, Giovani Tiso Online editor So, how does Subscriberthon work?
