Some of our special stories in April focused on the need for honest history about America’s founding principles and honest reporting about today’s pressing issues, including health-care reform, civil liberties, income inequality, violence, foreign policy, torture and war.
From Editor Robert Parry: Our spring fund drive ends at midnight Tuesday and we are now only about $3,500 from our goal of $25,000. If you can, please help so Consortiumnews can continue offering its unique perspective on politics, history and other important topics.
From Editor Robert Parry: We are wrapping up our spring fund drive and need your help to get at least halfway to our goal of $25,000. Our ability to provide important information on Election 2012 will be impaired if we can’t raise that amount.
From Editor Robert Parry: Ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern paid Consortiumnews a big compliment the other day, when he said he hoped our Web site could endure because it offers historians and citizens a solid record from which to understand what’s happened in the United States over the past 16-plus years and even longer.
Some special stories in March demonstrated our unique brand of investigative journalism, bringing historical context to current events. Stories included White House secrets on the sabotage of Vietnam peace talks, realization that Campaign 2012 may turn on old myths about Iran, the legal battle over health-care reform and more.
From Robert Parry: Some readers have urged me to write a new book, expanding on our investigative journalism over the past five years. But before I can start, I need to reduce the stockpile of my last two books – Secrecy & Privilege and Neck Deep. So we are offering them at the lowest price yet.
From Editor Robert Parry: We’d like to end our spring fund drive, but we’re still less than halfway to our modest goal of $25,000. If you want to see Consortiumnews continue producing its unique brand of investigative journalism, please donate today.
From Editor Robert Parry: Many people who read the original journalism from Consortiumnews – by Ray McGovern, Mark Ames, Lisa Pease, James diEugenio, me and other of our featured writers – see our articles at “aggregator sites,” i.e. Web sites that cull stories from the Internet and reassemble them at their own.
From Editor Robert Parry: In the 16-plus years of Consortiumnews, our most difficult fund-raising periods have been in presidential election years like this one. Many supporters tell me they are funneling what money they have into campaigns and, implicitly, that independent journalism is not a priority.
From Editor Robert Parry: We’re trying to reduce our stockpiles of books and reach our goal for the spring fundraiser. You can help in both while also getting important facts out to a broader public.
Help Us Pay Our Writers! We rely on our readers to pay our writers for their original journalism.
