On Monday, we will begin a crucial mid-year fundraiser that could well decide whether Consortiumnews.com can continue producing and publishing its unique brand of investigative news and independent analyses.

Given the difficult economic times, we already have cut back as much as we can. We have been forced to postpone or cancel important journalistic projects. So, your help is needed.

If you can, please make a tax-deductible donation by credit card online or by mailing a check to:

Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ)
Suite 102-231
2200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington VA 22201

(For readers wanting to use PayPal, you can address contributions to our account, which is named "consortnew@aol.com").

Thanks so much.

Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. He founded Consortiumnews.com in 1995 as the Internet's first investigative magazine. He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream U.S. news media.

CIJ is a 501-c-3 tax-exempt organization, so your donations are tax-deductible. (You also can direct donations to us through your company's charitible-giving programs.)
