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.

biographies of our authors, CLICK HERE.
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

current and past 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...
