t r u t h o u t | Robert McChesney, media expert, educator, activist and author of the just-released "Digital Disconnect: How Capitalism Is Turning the Internet Against Democracy", believes that there are beachheads on the web that deserve your backing:
"Truthout is exactly the sort of medium we need to be supporting. It provides a fantastic service online and it's exactly the kind of thing I write about in the book. People need to support it to the best of their ability."
In McChesney's book, he details how advertising is cheapening the content of websites, many of which have become vehicles for reaching targeted consumer markets. This won't happen on Truthout and BuzzFlash because we refuse to accept advertising.
Take Robert McChesney's advice now: Please donate to Truthout, and help us raise the $25,000 we still need this month. This is your news and analysis seven days a week, accountable only to you and the truth.
