“An exciting initiative by people with great experience and impressive achievements. It offers real promise of meeting needs that are widely and rightly felt: for regular news about important issues, truly independent, not constrained by concentrated power.”

A New Kind of News Resource
If you don't see today's news media fulfilling a meaningful purpose in society, you are in the silenced majority. We intend to fulfill that purpose and break that silence
The NewStandard is a new and very different kind of news resource. Published by PeoplesNetWorks, a small, nonprofit collective. The NewStandard will be one of the only professional, independent, noncommercial hard news sources in the United States.
Features available on this site will soon include:
# original, hard news reporting by journalists throughout North America and around the world
# in-depth feature articles and investigative reports on issues untouched by the profit-driven media
# clever cartoons that pull no punches
# self-publishing facilities to expand the reach and opportunities of independent media
# insightful analysis and commentary by progressive pundits worldwide
# numerous interactive features such as forums, chat, events calendars, organizing tools, and much more
# up-to-the-minute news briefs covering the stories and angles buried in the corporate press
The NewStandard will provide uncompromised investigative journalism and 24-hour news coverage of current events. PeoplesNetWorks will complement this reporting with the tools and connections required to respond to and impact newsworthy events. Together, PeoplesNetWorks and The NewStandard aim to bridge the alienating gap between people and the events that affect them.
In striving to achieve this goal, The NewStandard has developed a form of news reporting that places integrity and relevance at the core of journalism. The sensationalism, commercialism and thinly-veiled biases you have come to expect from news media have met their nemesis.
