Green Left Weekly uses a wide variety of sources to
bring you the most accurate national and international news each week.
We use the resources of progressive international journals, electronic
mail, telephone interviews with international activists and our own
wide range of international contributors.
But there's nothing quite as certain as having someone on
the spot. That's why Green Left makes a priority of having
correspondents in places where people are in motion.
Green Left's coverage of the recent events in Moscow
could not have been nearly so thorough if we hadn't had Renfrey Clarke
on the spot. Coverage of the recent nationalist march in Belfast would
not have been so complete if we hadn't had Catherine Brown on the spot
(pictured interviewing Gerry Adams).
Next April, the first non-racial elections in South African
history will occur. Green Left will provide the most
comprehensive political coverage of those elections. But to do that, we
need to put a journalist on the spot.
The costs of having a journalist in South Africa at this
most important juncture will run into the thousands of dollars. But
the gains we will all make, from having accurate and up to date
coverage of events in South Africa at this time, far outweigh this.
Yet Green Left Weekly has no special source of
funding. We don't make a profit from advertising, and we don't attract
corporate sponsors.If Green Left is to send a correspondent to
South Africa, it will be only as a result of the financial help of our
readers.
If you appreciate Green Left's unique coverage
of international political events, then you'll appreciate why we
need to put someone on the spot. If you can help, please fill out the
clip-off on page 19, and return it to Green Left Weekly, PO Box 394,
Broadway 2007.
Green Left Weekly -- it's your on the spot
paper.
