Dear Readers,
Can you believe it? It still seems like a dream to me. This fighting,
working-class newspaper is back to daily publishing!
Following in the footsteps of The Daily Worker and all the other great
newspapers that have advocated for workers, for equality and democracy,
for peace and socialism, this daily is online and reaching
80,000-100,000 each month at www.pww.org. And we have just begun.
The daily publishing along with launching a new website gives us the
opportunity to literally reach millions with our real-life stories of
struggle, unity and social progress made by everyday people. It gives
us the opportunity to reach that 20 percent of the American public that
prefer socialism over capitalism! (Along with that 27 percent who
aren’t sure which is better, capitalism or socialism.)
Along with these opportunities come choices. In order to focus our
energy and financial resources on the new opportunities to bring this
radical, working-class journalism into the 21st century, we will be
changing our format,
As of January 1, 2010, we will be moving to an online publication that
is updated continuously each day, with daily delivery of important
stories to your e-mail. Our web site will also provide a weekly
downloadable selection of articles, easy to print from your home
computer, library or school. Because we are a small staff without the
big bucks of the corporate media, we will not be able to continue to
produce a weekly 12-page newspaper at the same time.
By going to daily delivery of news and analysis, our newspaper,
pww.org, is able to be part of the massive revolution in technology,
communications and information, always fighting for the interests of
our broad working-class, always fighting to take on capitalism’s ills,
racism, war and greed.
It’s quite an accomplishment for a newspaper like ours – which takes no
corporate funding – but is supported only through the hard work and
sacrifice, through the sweat-equity of raising money by readers and
supporters like you.
Electronic delivery will guarantee a more relevant and cost-effective
way to get your news and analysis, plus giving you an easier and
quicker way to share it, in English and Spanish.
The Daily Worker began in Chicago in January 1924. This is our 85th
year of “fighting words.” The People’s Weekly World/Nuestro Mundo will
continue its mission in every kind of format, honoring those Communist
men and women of the 1920s that decided they wanted to start a daily
newspaper based on “the truth.” The truth – in that day – as in this
day – is similar. That the American people cannot truly be free until
the economic decisions that have such profound effects on lives of the
people are made by the people and for the people. This has been and
will continue to be the mission of this newspaper in every format.
We're very excited about this new venture, and look forward to your
continued involvement and support. Please contact me if you have any
questions.
Yours in struggle,
Teresa Albano
Editor
