Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the website and the newsletter?
The CounterPunch website is offered at no charge to the general public over the world wide web. New articles are generally posted every weekday. A batch of several articles, including the Poet’s Basement, are usually posted in the Weekend Edition. After the initial posting, these articles are available in the archives which can be searched by clicking any of the search links on the website.
The CounterPunch Newsletter is a six page publication solely for CounterPunch subscribers. It is published twice monthly except for single issues during July and August for a total of 22 issues per year. The newsletter is available both in print form, sent by US Mail and as an email edition sent as a PDF. (PDFs are readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded for free at www.adobe.com)
How long will it take for my subscription to be fulfilled?
Print subscriptions can take up to six weeks to fill. The duration depends where we are in our print cycle the moment you subscribe. Email issues are sent out within the first week of subscribing.
I gave CounterPunch $ ages ago, but I'm not getting issues:
If you haven't gotten any issues but you feel you should, please contact us asap so we can get it straightened out. If you made a donation, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a subscription. Subscriptions are available for a specific purchase price and if you've selected a donation option or written "donation" on your check, we may not be aware that you intended to subscribe. Another problem may be that your address has changed or there is a discrepancy in our records. Sometimes it's the case that your subscription fell just shy of the cut-off date for an issue, so there is a longer waiting period for the regular subscription to begin. Your first issue will be the issue mentioned in the trailer and if you've subscribed by email you should receive the issue within the first week.
How long will it take for my merchandise order to ship?
Merchandise is generally sent within 48 hours of order, depending on the day of the week. All domestic orders are sent by First Class or Priority U.S. Mail and may take 5-7 business days. Orders sent outside the U.S. are also sent by U.S. Mail and may take 3-4 weeks.
How do I print an article off of the website?
CounterPunch does not offer a printer friendly version of the website articles. If you need to print the article we suggest copying and pasting into a program such as Word.
How do I change my subscription address?
You can email, call or write the business office with your mailing address or email address change. counterpunch@frontiernet.net
