The New Standard

(From Dale Fitzgibbons)

The NewStandard

They publish all-original content 5 days a week on a huge range of US news subjects like civil liberties, the environment, work and money, health, the "war on terror," etc. Unlike the mainstream media, which mostly pays attention to politicians and other elites, TNS focuses mostly on the people impacted by and the activists working on issues and current events.

The site also carries lots of other features, like daily links to important stories on other sites to keep you totally informed.

TNS is a reader-funded, nonprofit publication. They have no advertising, no foundation funding, no investors.

Here are just a few great recent articles:

‘Worker Centers’ Pick Up Where Unions, Govt. Leave Off

Chicago Turns Down Discounted Venezuelan Oil

Critics Question Senate’s Supposed ‘Anti-torture’ Stance

Bush’s Immigration Ideas Worry Mexicans ‘Looking for a Future’

German sues CIA, Corporations for Rendition, Torture

Program Nixed in 2001 Could Have Curbed Gulf Coast Damage, Experts Say

I'm helping TNS by donating every month to support their work, but they're struggling for sustainability right now and need every bit of help available. I hope you'll consider joining me in backing this worthy project.
