While some people may object to the founders' political views, to succeed, they will most certainly put that aside. I married a great woman who's been a journalist for about 15 years. As time went on, the paper she works for had moved slowly from a real news style to the New York Post celebrity-gossip centered style tabloid. She still believes that there's a place for real hardcore journalism, and this might just be the place for it. As an 'equal opportunity basher', she works hard to dig up dirt from politicians from both sides of the aisle. Even as the politicians cry foul, she stays true to the fact that it's the readers' interests that matter, not the politicians'. It’s great to see someone is out there to take on a cause.

It's about time a journalist with experience created opportunities for young and experienced reporters to chase more than crime news and Hollywood gossip. I sure hope the main line (or main lining) media picks up the in depth and investigative stories produced! They sure as heck need it. That's because so many experienced reporters have been laid off or bought out by newspapers countrywide so they can bottom line rather than taking their responsibilities as the fourth estate. Of course, what the media picks up from Pro Publica will depend upon the experience of the editors and reporters hired. I hope Pro Publica will use free lancers as well, because despite the availability of the Internet, few free lancers can find opportunities to publish and be paid for investigative stories. I have found opportunities but the compensation is lower than young writer like my daughter, Gisela Williams-Kramer, receives for travel stories from magazines and newspapers. If Pro Publica is interested in 39 1/2 years of experience in investigative journalism and can pay commensurately, I'm sure ready!!!

It bothers me that this announcement has a comment about the some of the founders anti Bush standing. Our political system is not corrupt on one side only. When you include statements like "Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, said The Times would be open to using work from an outside source, “assuming we were confident of its quality,” but that “we’ll always have a preference for work we can vouch for ourselves.” This statement alone sounds way too one sided when used with the previous anti Bush statement.

I think is time "Pro Publica" does something abut the unreported news, that need to be out into the world. My rights and those of my family were violated by Public Official in Miami, and no media in Miami, dares to challenge the "Corruption in the Miami City Goverment´s". One may ask why? Because newspapers and journalist are either ethical or are compromised with an unjust system, others don´t have the guts to exposed the truth. It takes a highly ethical journalist to exposed a particular thruth. Journalist are not made they are born. sincerely; Gerardo Villamizar from The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Well.
