The most-read GoozNews of 2021
Happy holidays to all my readers, and a small favor to ask
I wish all my readers a happy holidays. Here’s hoping 2022 will be more peaceful, pandemic-free and politically uplifting.
I give special thanks to everyone who has financially supported this project over the past year. It is an extension of the reporting, writing and editing that I did over my five decades as a full-time (and occasionally part-time) journalist. Your support helps pay for the limited but very real costs of keeping it going.
Whether paid or unpaid, if you think GoozNews is worthwhile, I have just one small favor to ask: Share this post with five or 10 of your friends or colleagues (click the “email” icon after hitting this button):
Tell them in a phrase why you like GoozNews. Invite them to check out some of the articles below (you can copy and paste the list into the body of the email). And suggest they subscribe if they think it is worth seeing on a regular basis.
Or you can go the extra mile and give them or yourself a paid gift subscription, which will help me keep this going through 2022. Thanks!
