We Distribute Is On Temporary Hiatus

Hey, thanks for asking! It largely boils down to money, people, and time. I'm currently a full-time student, and struggling to stay afloat.

Here's all the things I currently do:

• Research / Testing (gathering info for stories, tracking down info for sources, testing apps and platforms)
• Writing articles, interviews, guides, and reviews.
• Content Editing pieces submitted by contributors
• Scheduling for Podcast interviews
• A/V Production
• Podcast Distribution
• Music Promotion
• Graphic Design (thumbnails and such)
• WordPress development (features and data)
• Social Media Management (11+ accounts)
• Instance moderation
• Event coverage
• Manage a Contributor Team
• Fundraising
• System Administration

I'm probably missing a few things. It's a lot! And, while I've been able to balance this out for a long time, my severe burnout has seen diminishing returns. I'm at a point where articles are getting finished days and even weeks after something has happened, which... isn't great.

All of this stuff is more or less being done for pennies an hour. It's not sustainable.

We Distribute needs a lot of help in getting to a healthy place. We need help with writing, editing, social media direction, and A/V production. We also need assistance with securing funding through donations, partnerships, and grants, and need to finish the work in establishing We Distribute Media as a 501c3, which was work we initially started in the beginning of this year.
