In emphasising that 4BR will never become a 'pay to access' platform, Editor Iwan Fox stated that the changing face of online publishing means that there is also an ever-increasing need to keep pace with technology and consumer demands — elements that require extensive long term investment.

"Our readers are our shareholders and we will never charge them for what we provide. We are fiercely proud of our reputation as a strong, independent voice that informs as well as entertains — and we will always strive to maintain that.

If people share our aims and want to enable us to develop what we do then their support means a great deal. We can assure you those aims will not change — and we hope people will help us continue to achieve them for many more years to come. Your support will enable 4BR to remain a free to access, strong and independent voice."
