Tribune Media Services syndicates over 150 columnists and features from political commentary to lifestyle and health. We would be interested in speaking with Dale or Andrew about a partnership.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. If you're interested in writing on those topics, or know someone who is, drop us a line. Don't worry, our activities aren't limited to the domain of professional journalism. We've been working hard for many years to bridge different sectors - or, really, to demolish some of the walls that separate them. We try to bring people and ideas together, and from that incubate shared learning and encourage new alliances, new projects and new models for producing and distributing knowledge in the connected culture. We've been looking closely at the growing role of activists, non-profit organizations and NGOs - and anticipate their role will continue to expand. Here are some examples from that thread of our work: The Future of Good is Way Cool Activists World: Social Networks for Social Good The Power to Change The World We Media Miami 08 - Nonprofit Journalism How NonProfit Journalism Pays Off

I think you are doing a very good job indeed. But it think it important to realize that as long as your activities are limited within the scope of professional journalism the bulk of people you target to serve will not benefit much from your reports. It think it advisable to develop your activities beyond the very limits of corporatism and find out that anyone should have his say about the world environmental social and political issues and you should allow him to do it in an efficient way.
