t r u t h o u t | Dear Readers,
Informing the public is a real news organization's top priority. But behind every byline stands a reporter who hopes that his or her work will make the kind of impact that will force the powers that be to launch an investigation or pass a new law, energize the public to take action, or change the tides of media coverage on a crucial issue. When change happens, it is evidence of just how powerful the truth can be - and it is the reason I continue to pound the pavement.
Last month, I reported a story on Truthout that made a sizable impact. It exposed a US Air Force program that used teachings from a former Nazi SS officer and passages from the Bible to instruct missile officers on the ethics of launching nuclear weapons. Less than a day after my report was published, the Air Force suspended the program, which had been in place for two decades - and then suspended all of its other ethics courses, pending review.

Truthout's report was picked up by The Washington Post, The London Daily Telegraph, The Atlantic and more than 100 other domestic and international news organizations, all of whom credited Truthout with breaking the news. The report continues to be discussed nearly a month later. It's this type of impact that makes my work gratifying and gives me the drive to expose injustice.
Please help Truthout continue to make an impact. *We must raise around $24,000 more to make our goal and end this drive. Can you empower us by making a generous tax-deductible donation today?*
