Countercurrents Needs Your Support
An Appeal For Financial Support
Dear friend of Countercurrents,
Countercurrents.org came online on 27 th March 2002.Since then, we have grown a lot with your support. Countercurrents.org is a valuable source of information for thousands of users world wide. We get hundreds of mails from journalists, researchers, students and from concerned citizens of the world how much they benefit from this site. More than one hundred thousand users visit our site every month.
Although we are very proud of our growth, we are a little worried about the mounting expenses. As you know, web hosting and maintainance costs money. As our readership base grows we have to continually upgrade our server space and bandwidth and there are other expenses too like mailing list bandwidth, equipment costs, establishment charges etc....
As of now we dont pay our writers as we have no funds. That's not fair. We have a responsibility to support independent journalists financially so that they may do indepth research and come out with articles that matter.
All works at countercurrents.org are done by volunteers. Ideally we would like to see one or two people work full time. This would vastly improve the content quality of the site.
We have also ambitious projects like starting a publishing house with the aim of publishing a magazine and quality books.
Until now we were running the site from our personal funds. We are not wealthy people. Web site hosting and data transfer costs are increasing each month. This is an expense we can not afford to fund on our own. We need your help!
In the truest spirit of independent internet journalism, we believe that whatever news, views and analysis given out from countercurrents.org should be independent in the truest sense of the word and free of biases. That's why we dont seek corporate sponsors; no banner advertising; no pop-up ads; no selling or renting of our mailing lists. We want our funding to come 100% from you - our readers.
If you are among those who think we should have a future, please choose one of the following ways to help us out.
