The Fourth Estate has never been more essential to our country and community. This presale for membership in Comma’s “First Amendment Club” is for those who understand the importance of the amendment our nation’s founders purposely chose to list first and want to show support for local journalism across Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Depending on when you join, you will become the proud owner of a membership number that will memorialize just how early you supported this new 501c3.

In appreciation of your gift, we would love to offer a tour of The Spokesman-Review newsroom and the iconic Review Tower building in Downtown Spokane. If you, your family, neighbors, friends, civic group or other organization would like to schedule a tour personally guided by the newspaper’s editor, please contact Comma's Director of Development and Community Engagement, Yvonne Esquibel Smith at 509-220-0454 or via email at yvonne@comma.cm — yes, .cm is the correct address, not .com.

(Some membership benefits will not become available until 2026.)
