t r u t h o u t | Why would a news organization give away stories, especial=
ly in-depth, original investigative reporting?

There are some who believe that making journalism freely available devalues=
 it. Truthout disagrees.

Why do we believe it's important that our stories are freely available and =
not hidden behind a paywall? Because everyone deserves to be able to read t=
he truth - so we ensure that anyone who can see our site via a computer or =
cellphone gets to read our stories free of charge.

And why don't we accept advertising? Because the constant desire to deliver=
 the most pageviews - and thus drive up the value of ad space - can have a =
negative effect on the quality of journalism a website publishes. And becau=
se as the saying goes, he who pays the piper calls the tune: The people who=
 place ads have a habit of trying to influence what gets published.

We do all this because we know we can rely on our readers to keep us going =
with your generosity. Prove us right tonight: We still must raise almost $4=
0,000 more in this drive. If you're in a position to make a donation to sup=
port Truthout, now is the time to pitch in!
