t r u t h o u t | Most of today's media is obsessed with being the first an=
d the fastest. It's an endless competition to break news before anyone else=
, or comment on the latest story that's getting a buzz.
Of course there are time-sensitive issues that need exposing as quickly as =
possible, and times when a key factor in a story demands immediate attentio=
n. But too often, the media rushes in to capitalize on a story without addi=
ng anything new - or worse, worries more about getting there first rather t=
han getting the facts right, and so actively spreads misinformation. Is the=
re another way of doing things?
At Truthout, we believe there is. We think it's often better to develop the=
most informed take instead of trying to get the first take. We believe in =
breaking stories - but about issues that really matter, not just the ones t=
hat have already been identified as likely to generate a feeding frenzy of =
clicks.=20
This isn't the kind of journalism that corporate sponsors are interested in=
funding - fortunately, we don't want their influence. We're proud to be su=
pported by you, our readers.
Right now we need your help to make sure our independence can be maintained=
: We must raise over $28,000 more by the end of tomorrow. This does require=
quick action - can you make a tax-deductible donation now?
