We Need Your Help to Pay Our Writers

By Robert Parry
September 23, 2010

Consortiumnews.com believes in paying its writers (what we can) for original content. We normally make these payments from our small general fund that we try to replenish in periodic fund drives.

However, our mid-year fund drive proved disappointing, falling well short of our budgeted target. That means we need your help if we are to continue paying our writers.

Here are four ways you can help:

First option: You can make a donation, big or small. You can do so either by credit card at the Web site or by check – to Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ); Suite 102-231; 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington VA 22201. Or you can use PayPal (our account is named after our e-mail address “[email protected]”).

(Our parent organization, Consortium for Independent Journalism, is a 501-c-3 non-profit, so your contributions can be tax-deductible.)

Second, if you’d rather spread out your support in smaller amounts, you can sign up for a monthly donation. With contributions of $10 or more a month, you can qualify for war correspondent Don North’s new DVD, “Yesterday’s Enemies” about the lives of former Salvadoran guerrillas. For details, click here.

Third, you can take advantage of our deep discount for the three-book set of Robert Parry’s Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege, and Neck Deep (co-authored with Sam and Nat Parry). The price for the set is only $29. Our goal is to sell at least 225 more sets so we can empty our warehouse and make way for a new book. For details, click here.

Fourth, you can schedule a joint speech by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and journalist Robert Parry. The suggested fees – $2,000 for community groups, $5,000 for colleges and larger non-profits, and $10,000 for those who can afford it – go entirely to keeping Consortiumnews.com alive.

Whether Consortiumnews.com can continue to support -- and distribute -- the valuable work of our writers depends on you.

Thanks so much for your support.

Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. He founded Consortiumnews.com in 1995 as the Internet's first investigative magazine. He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream U.S. news media.
