Subscriber FAQs

Hi and thanks for reading COYOTE! You’ll find most, if not all, of your subscription-related questions answered here.

How do I subscribe?

Go to this page and choose your own adventure.

I'm already a member! How do I access your stories?

On our homepage, click on "Log in" in the top-right corner of the page. Enter the email you used to subscribe, then click on the login link that we'll send to your inbox. If you're on mobile, find the "Log In" link in the menu that shows up when you tap the two lines on the top left of the page.

Can I buy a subscription for someone else?

Why’s there a paywall?

Coyote's approach to paywalling content stems from our cooperative values and our commitment to sustainable, independent journalism.

We believe that:

• Independence requires reader support. As a worker-owned cooperative that isn’t swimming in venture capital dollars, member support is essential to our survival and independence.
• Quality journalism deserves compensation. Our journalists deserve fair pay for their work, which requires creating value that members are willing to support financially.
• Core information should remain accessible. Information critical to public health, safety, and civic participation should be available to all, regardless of one’s ability to pay.
• AI companies should have to try really hard to scrape our content.

We pay our writers money, and that money has to come from somewhere.
