today's world. We are particularly concerned with the undermining of democratic
processes and failures to accord with fair, legal and transparent practices.'

Common Dreams
It's been said that dreams are our roadmaps to the future. If so, where are we
headed? Common Dreams is a national non-profit citizens' organization working to
bring progressive Americans together to promote progressive visions for
America's future. Founded in 1997, we are committed to being on the cutting-edge
of using the internet as a political organizing tool - and creating new models
for internet activism.
We are funded exclusively by our members and supporters - no corporate money, no
advertising, no hidden agendas. With a small staff and a network of volunteers,
we are proud of what we've accomplished on a shoestring budget. Consortium News
'We [look] at the underlying problems of modern democracy, particularly the
insidious manipulation of citizens by government propaganda and the accomplice
role played by mainstream media. Rather than encouraging diversity in analyses
especially on topics of war and peace, today’s mainstream media takes a perverse
pride in excluding responsible, alternative views.' Corporate Europe Observatory
'CEO is a European-based research and campaign group targeting the threats to
democracy, equity, social justice and the environment posed by the economic and
political power of corporations and their lobby groups.' Corporate Watch (UK)
'Corporate Watch is a radical research and publishing group, set up in late 1996
to support activism against large corporations, particularly multinationals.
While rooted in the grassroots ecological movement, it now embraces a range of
issues and campaigning approaches.' Corp Watch (US) 'Corporate Watch is an
online magazine and resource center designed to provide you - every day Internet
users - activists, journalists, students, teachers and policy makers - with an
array of tools that you can use to investigate and analyze corporate activity.
We are committed to exposing corporate greed by documenting the social,
political, economic and environmental impacts of these transnational giants.'

Declassified UK

'We investigate Britain’s military and intelligence agencies, its most powerful
corporations and its impact on human rights and the environment.'

Democracy Now!
'For true democracy to work, people need easy access to independent, diverse
sources of news and information.
But the last two decades have seen unprecedented corporate media consolidation.
The U.S. media was already fairly homogeneous in the early 1980s: some fifty
media conglomerates dominated all media outlets, including television, radio,
newspapers, magazines, music, publishing and film. In the year 2000, just six
corporations dominated the U.S. media.
In addition, corporate media outlets in the U.S. are legally responsible to
their shareholders to maximize profits.
Democracy Now! is funded entirely through contributions from listeners, viewers,
and foundations. We do not accept advertisers, corporate underwriting, or
government funding. This allows us to maintain our independence.'

The Ecologist 'Our subject areas are broad, our analysis radical. In an
authoritative and accessible style, we cover issues both topical and general,
and in doing so, open new areas of debate on everything from science and
technology to the impacts of the globalisation of economic development on jobs,
health and the environment.' Electronic Intifada
'The Electronic Intifada is an independent online news publication and
educational resource focusing on Palestine, its people, politics, culture and
place in the world.'


Ethical Consumer 'Ethical consumerism is all about empowering the consumer.
Often people feel powerless in the face of global issues such as ozone depletion
and third world exploitation but ethical consumerism can be a driving force for
change.' Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) 'FAIR is the national media
watch group that offers well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship.
We seek to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in
the press. We scrutinize media practices that marginalize public interest,
minority and dissenting viewpoints.
FAIR believes that independent, aggressive and critical media are essential to
an informed democracy. But mainstream media are increasingly cozy with the
economic and political powers they should be watchdogging. Mergers in the news
industry have accelerated, further limiting the spectrum of viewpoints that have
access to mass media. With U.S. media outlets overwhelmingly owned by for-profit
conglomerates and supported by corporate advertisers, independent journalism is
compromised.' Glasgow Media Group
'The Unit has developed techniques to link the analysis of media content with
the processes by which audiences receive and interpret messages.'


The Grayzone

analysis on politics and empire.'


In These Times

the creation of radical, objective, and passionate tellings of the truth. We
work out of a love and inspiration for people to who continue to work for a
better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover
the efforts to free humanity.' Index on Censorship 'Index on Censorship is a
nonprofit that campaigns for and defends free expression worldwide.'


The Intercept 'The Intercept gives its journalists the editorial freedom and
legal support they need to pursue investigations that expose corruption and
injustice wherever they find it and hold the powerful accountable.'


International Consortium of Investigative Journalists 'The news media, hobbled
by short attention spans and lack of resources, are even less of a match for
those who would harm the public interest. Broadcast networks and major
newspapers have closed foreign bureaus, cut travel budgets, and disbanded
investigative teams. We are losing our eyes and ears around the world precisely
when we need them most.'



Jacobin


' "The appearance of Jacobin magazine has been a bright light in dark times.
Each issue brings penetrating, lively discussions and analyses of matters of
real significance, from a thoughtful left perspective that is refreshing and all
too rare. A really impressive contribution to sanity, and hope." - Noam Chomsky
'



johnpilger.com - 'the films and journalism of John Pilger'


'It is not enough for journalists to see themselves as mere messengers without
understanding the hidden agendas of the message and myths that surround it.'


MediaLens
'Correcting for the distorted vision of the corporate media'

'MediaLens is our response to the unwillingness, or inability, of the mainstream
media to tell the truth about the real causes and extent of many of the problems
facing us, such as human rights abuses, poverty, pollution and climate change.
Because much modern suffering is rooted in the unlimited greed of corporate
profit-maximising - in the subordination of people and planet to profit - it
seems to us to be a genuine tragedy that society has for so long been forced to
rely on the corporate media for 'accurate' information.'

complexities of a modern global world.'


Mother Jones
'Mother Jones is a magazine of investigation and ideas for independent thinkers.
Provocative and unexpected articles inform readers and inspire action toward
positive social change. Colorful and personal, Mother Jones challenges
conventional wisdom, exposes abuses of power, helps redefine stubborn problems
and offers fresh solutions.' The Nation ' "The Nation will not be the organ of
any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to
bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical
spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and
misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is
marred." -- from The Nation's founding prospectus, 1865.' New Internationalist
NI 'exists to report on issues of world poverty and inequality; to focus
attention on the unjust relationship between the powerful and the powerless in
