One Page Two of the print edition, Substance strongly supports the election of the CORE slate in the June 11 CTU runoff election. In the May edition of Substance, no endorsement was offered because, as the June editorial explains, at the time of the publication of the May issue members of the Substance staff supported candidates from three of the five slates in contention. It has been Substance policy since 1983 (the Harold Washington election) not to endorse if there is a division on the Substance staff. Once the May 21 election was finished and the three other caucuses (PACT, CSDU, and SEA) had endorsed CORE, the Substance staff with an opinion in the CTU election was unanimous in support of Karen Lewis and CORE.
Following the voting in the May 21, 2010, CTU election which resulted in a runoff between CORE and the incumbent UPC, Substance has editorially endorsed the CORE slate. Above, a copy of the editorial page of the June 2010 Substance (page 2). Substance has noted for its readers and supporters that the transition from print to print and web has been time consuming and costly. In order for Substance to continue to support both the online news service at www.substancenews.net and the print edition, the newspaper will now begin a major drive to increase print subscriptions, sales, donations, and ads. Since January 2010 Substance has been selling ads that combine on line and print iterations.
Individual copies of Substance are sold for $2 per copy. Those who purchase between ten and 99 copies pay $1 per copy. Those who purchase more than 100 copies pay 50¢ per copy.
Substance subscriptions are still available for $16 per year (ten issues) by sending a check to Substance, 5132 W. Berteau, Chicago, IL 60641. Those who subscribe between June 2 and June 30 will receive a copy of the June 2010 issue in the mail following the receipt of their subscription payment.
