Make a Point, Not a Profit

There are few honest jobs. All the good work is low pay, and anyone who claims otherwise is selling you something.
"It is NOT the business of The Progressive to stay in business, it is the business of The Progressive to Change the World" - Irwin Noel, Editor of 'The Progressive' Magazine 1968, after being threatened by the US Government for publishing an issue on how to create an Atomic Bomb, based entirely upon public sources.
How many modern media outlets would have that kind of courage? To print the truth, regardless of the effect upon your journal, even and up to its destruction (much less, its pocketbook), is the ultimate test of journalism.

If you believe these words, and live in San Diego, CA, then go to the San Diego Society for Media Justice, and send us a note.
