Folks,
Payday may be a small crowdfunded publication from Pittsburgh, but many influential people read us and shape their coverage at much larger outlets. Not only did Brasília's largest newspaper cite Payday's investigative work, but also the largest newspaper in my state, The Philadelphia Inquirer, cited Payday's coverage.
This week, The Philadelphia Inquirer's top columnist, Will Bunch, called me and asked for help on a story he was writing about incoming socialist Philadelphia Congressman Chris Rabb's visit to São Paulo during the election.
Will Bunch had read Payday's story on Rabb's visit and decided to write his own, recognizing Payday's coverage

Bunch not only recognized Payday's work, but also included a video of my interview in his story, "Why Philly’s next congressman, Chris Rabb, took a detour to Brazil."
Will Bunch citing us in a lead column for the Philadelphia Inquirer shows once again why Payday's work in Brasil is so crucial.
It was a huge cost to cover this week ($1,800 in salaries for camera work, editting, etc and another $300 in travel costs) but we need your help to cover the costs and keep going. Donate now and get a free Lula Shirt. (Sign up here for a free shirt)
