FOLIO reports that over $250,000 in donations have saved Decatur-based Paste Magazine from folding.  And according to an email from publisher Nick Purdy, things are looking up.

“We’ve published two issues since the campaign began, sent a third to the printer and are seeing advertising pick up for the fall and expect to be around for a long time,” publisher Nick Purdy wrote in an e-mail to FOLIO:. The campaign officially closes this month, he said.

Wow…is it just me or is $250,000 an incredible amount of money to have raised?

Great news!  Keep on keepin’ on Paste.
