  "full_text": "Each month, hundreds of journalists across the country are receiving and reading UPLINK. The newsletter's mailing list has almost doubled since its debut. Unfortunately, this means UPLINK's production costs have also doubled The Missouri Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting can no longer afford to provide UPLINK for free.\n\nIn June, MICAR will require UPLINK's readers to pay a $15 subscription fee. This will entitle the subscriber to 1 year of UPLINK. All of UPLINK's readers will receive next month's issue, but MICAR will cease delivery of the June UPLINK to those who fail to subscribe by the last week of that month.\n\nA subscription form can be found on Page 4 of this issue. If there are any questions, call MICAR at (314) 882-0684. Thank You.",
