Dear cyberjournal community,
writers & publishers (via Bcc:),
Announcement>
PEOPLES PRESS INTERNATIONAL (PPI)
- a new incarnation of <cyberjournal@cpsr.org> -
In collaboration with "CADRE Productions Unlimited" (CPU), and with
the hosting support of "Computer Professionals for Social
Responsibility" (CPSR), I am pleased to announce a revamp of the
cyberjournal list -- a dedication to an expanded mission in support
of _Social Responsibility_ on a GLOBAL scale: the PEOPLES PRESS
INTERNATIONAL (PPI).
PPI aims to connect people to people, worldwide, bringing you the
_real_ news of the world -- the news Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner,
the UPI, Reuters, the API, and the New York Times don't think you
need to see.
WHERE WILL PPI GET ITS NEWS?...
...from stringer reporters, amateur and professional, all over the
world -- on the ground where the news is happening, uncensored and
up-to-the-minute...
...from the culls of dozens of Internet lists -- the
exceptional/pivotal postings that are deserving of worldwide
exposure...
...from you, our writer/publisher subscribers, who are encouraged
to send in those items of your own which would be of interest
beyond your shores...
...from our network of independent journalists and analysts who
have chosen PPI as a venue for their best and most topical essays
and investigations...
...and from you our readers, who welcome a chance to have _your_
voice heard on the issues of the day.
HOW WILL THE NEWS FEED BE FORMATTED?...
>From now on each cyberjournal/PPI posting Subject will be prefixed
by a tag denoting what type of news item it is, and will identify
the source of the material along with the topic/subject:
- PPI-ALERT> source: subject
- a posting which urges action on the part of the reader -- to join
a letter-writing campaign, to provide information or contacts in
support of an action, etc.
- PPI-BULLETIN> " "
- a news bulletin: an item of worldwide interest, though not to
every audience
- PPI-ANALYSIS>
- an essay or investigative report by a distinguished observer
- PPI-EDITORIAL>
- an opinion/analysis piece by CADRE editorial staff or by a guest
contributor
- PPI-BACKGROUND>
- a background study -- bringing in historic, economic, political,
or philosophical observations that shed light on today's events
- PPI-FIRST-PERSON>
- a report by an "ordinary person", perhaps poorly expressed or
with grammatical errors, but which "tells it like it is" from the
front lines
- PPI-READERS-VOICE>
- a comment, again by an "ordinary person", on recent news or on
any other topic of widespread interest
- PPI-RENAISSANCE>
- a report on the progress of the Democratic Renaissance and of the
global coalition movement striving to bring it about
HOW CAN YOU ACCESS THE NEWS FEED?
