Support our reporting fund In a world where quick soundbites often replace thorough reporting, the importance of independent media cannot be overstated. At TNM, we are committed to delivering not just news, but nuanced narratives that go beneath the surface. This commitment means our journalists spend considerable time on the ground, digging into stories that matter. However, in-depth reporting requires not just passion and dedication, but also substantial resources. Every story we chase involves expenses—travel, equipment, and ensuring the safety and well-being of our reporters as they bring you the truth from across the five south Indian states. This is where you can make a difference. By supporting our reporting fund, you're not just sustaining a media outlet; you're preserving the integrity and independence of journalism itself. Your contribution helps us stay resilient. Link in comment.

This is similar to my own experiences while running the Panorama Project, where some individual publishers — and even more individuals within their organizations — were willing to explore ways to collaborate, but most hid behind trade associations that refuse to seriously engage libraries as valued partners. While CDL has often been misrepresented by publishers and some library-adjacent organizations with their own agendas, it can be a mutually beneficial option in specific instances. That'll never happen as long as publishers' default stance is that libraries are the enemy. Meanwhile, next week, dozens of publishers will be in San Diego declaring their love for libraries, which really just means all the free marketing they provide despite regularly being treated like pirates. #libraries #publishing #ebooks #cmonson

Among the overflowing bouquet of opinions on democracy, Erica Benner pens a thoughtful, almost personal perspective on the origins of people's rule and the threats to its very foundation. Though heavily focused on the West, Benner's argument is thought-provoking and deserves a detailed read.

In today's episode of "State of Current Affairs," hosts Lillian Cauldwell and Viki Esther Chang explored the topic of "Food Security." They discussed how many countries rely on others to supplement their food resources. When a country stops exporting a staple, the receiving country risks facing starvation or a surge in black market economics. For instance,  Singapore, as an island nation, relies on various countries to import rice  to ensure its national diet isn't compromised if one country can't export to them. Ms. Cauldwell highlighted the paradox of the US's wealth, where excess food is destroyed or left to rot in fields while farmers are paid by  the government, resulting in greed, money, and power. They also  discussed innovative methods of food production, such as growing food from air molecules and chemicals, water-based cultivation, and creating meat from molecules, as maintaining cattle has become too costly on limited land. https://lnkd.in/gMZ-idMv

A synopsis is usually a one-page, single-spaced document required by agents or publishing-house editors when submitting your fiction novel. Writing a synopsis is difficult for many fiction writers because it’s a technical piece of writing rather than creative. In this three-hour live webinar, Elizabeth will break down the synopsis in simple terms, and get you well on your way to a first draft by the end of the webinar. This webinar will be interactive with study examples and plenty of time for questions and answers.
