Here's the
scoop...
Minuteman Media distributes sound,
progressive opinion to places where it is sorely needed --
smaller newspapers nationwide.
These newspapers subscribe,
because they don't get such material anywhere else, and it's
free. It also helps balance the flood
of free columns that
comes in daily from the prolific Right. Each weekly packet carries six columns and a
cartoon. Typical topics are:
Peace and Disarmament; Women's
Rights; Environment; Campaign Finance; Media Watchdogging; Civil
Rights; Agribusiness; Government Whistleblowing; Poverty; and Consumer Action. Editors covet this diversity because that's
what their readers want. In the Farm Belt, for example, they
love the ag pieces.
Our "Partner
Organizations" and Authors...
Thirty to 35 national think tanks and
advocacy groups write for us pretty regularly. Most are on a
eight-week cycle.
Jim Hightower and Donald Kaul contribute
every week, as does cartoonist Ben Dib. Still others write once
in a while.
For a list of "Partner Organizations" and
links to their web sites,

Who reads it?
So far 1,500+ local papers subscribe, roughly
half dailies and half weeklies. That's over 20 million homes!
Typical newspaper size is about 10,000
circulation. We don't knowingly solicit any paper over 100,000.
Who pays for
it?
Oy! Raising money is an awful drag. Most
foundations of good will, unlike their Rightist counterparts,
don't focus on media. Most want to aid people
directly. Some promote critical policies. Few see the general
nurturing of progressive opinion as a means to those ends. If
you happen to, bless you. Click on the "FUNDERS"

funders.

Why donate?
►We are poor.
Since we don't feed starving children or save wetlands
(directly), donors don't rush to our aid. Thus we're always
living on the edge.
►We don't
preach to the saved -- only to average citizens...
►No one else
is doing this stuff on anything like our scale...
►No waste. We
all work from our own homes for low pay...
