Esquire Sets Up Paywall to Benefit James Foley Marquette Scholarship Fund
Posted in: Uncategorized
Ahead of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Esquire magazine is putting “The Falling Man” — Tom Junod’s 2003 article about the photograph of a man falling from the World Trade Center — behind an optional paywall and suggesting readers pay $2.99 to read it.
Proceeds will be donated to the James Foley Scholarship Fund at Marquette University. Mr. Foley is one of two American journalists beheaded by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Mr. Junod has written a new introduction that establishes a connection among the photograph, Mr. Foley and Steven Sotloff, the second American journalist killed by ISIS.
“We’re all in mourning,” said David Granger, editor-in-chief of Esquire. “These two awful things have happened to people in our profession.”
