BagStravaganza! Raffle Winners and Revelry!

From all of us at BagNews, a BIG thank you to everyone who supported our end-of-year fund-raising drive. More than sixty of you came out to Brooklyn on a night when the streets were still blanketed by the blizzard, and many more of you who couldn’t make it in person contributed online. It is gratefully appreciated, and together we will continue to grow our mission dedicated to visual politics and the analysis of news images.
