Welcome To World News Trust -- Defining The New Mainstream (Francis Goodwin)

  NEW YORK (WNT) -- Welcome to World News Trust -- a grassroots, progressive, independent news media project.

  WNT is a response to the corporatist nature of the modern U.S. news media. Its mission is to fairly and accurately report news of world events to help people understand what is happening in the world and to make informed decisions about their lives. We strive for the highest possible standards of journalistic excellence.

  We are non-partisan. Readers and contributors of all political persuasions are welcome to this site. We seek thoughtful, well-reasoned submissions from across the globe on every topic of importance to our daily lives. Editors reserve the right to run those news stories, analyses and commentaries they deem appropriate, and to banish members who do not treat other persons with respect.

  --Francis Goodwin, World News Trust founder and managing editor
