rsn / who is this
marc ash
editor and publisher
Marc Ash is a former fashion photographer, graphic designer, and advertising campaign coordinator. A volunteer for the 2000 Al Gore presidential campaign, Marc was one of the people alarmed by the way events that decided that election played out. It was a rejection of what occurred in 2000 and a determination that the American political process was in serious trouble that motivated Marc and co-founder Scott Galindez to launch Truthout. Reader Supported News is the continuation of that work, now more vital than ever.
