AlertNet was, alongside IRIN, one of the very few organisations treating humanitarian news as a beat worthy of specialist attention, proper journalism and reporting. But under the @TRF, AlertNet already had long since morphed into Trust.org and latterly Context.

Dear AlertNet, our POTUS 🇺🇲 vehemently committed to remove Social Security taxes. Many were looking forward to this. His carry through is unfortunate. No, Trump did not end taxes on Social Security #Socialsecuritybenefits #DonaldTrump #Socialsecurity share.newsbreak.com/gjdtzbts

The Future of Journalism: Adopt a Muckraker Muckraker: A reporter or writer who investigates and publishes reports involving a host of social issues, broadly including crime and corruption By Daniel Wermus 03/11/2011 “Should you and I pay for the kind of accurate news reporting that is needed to fill us in on what is happening to the planet? If we’re not willing to pick up the tab to stay better informed, who will?” Renowned Swiss journalist Daniel Wermus and Director of the Media21 Global Journalism Network in Geneva asks those questions in an April 2010 article about my launch of Community Supported Journalism in 2009. [Updated from Sept 2010] — Stephen I meet international freelance journalists quite often. Most make it clear that budget cuts have made it increasingly difficult for just about anyone, especially freelancers, to get into print. It is usually the freelancers who are most willing to risk their lives to get the stories that need reporting the most. If the day arrives when they can no longer carry out their professions, we will all have a serious problem. Stephen Leahy, a Canadian, and one of the world’s best-known investigative reporters on environmental issues, has launched a challenge: if corporations won’t pay for the news, then it is up to communities and the public to fill the gap. A free society needs journalism, even if reporting the news is not commercially profitable. Leahy’s model for supporting the news has the journalist make his pitch over the internet. The completed article can then be distributed by news agencies or magazines that are low on funds but high on public interest. That could be IPS, Reuters-Alertnet, Commondreams, InfoSud, The Essential Edge or any number of other publications and news outlets. Leahy observes that: “Many people tell me, we need individuals like you to get real information out.” It may be too early to tell whether this really signals a new citizen’s approach to the need for hard information that may be crucial to society. In the best of all worlds it could bring together both consumers and media for promoting a better planet. The danger is that it could also produce yet another quagmire of holier-than-thou preaching. stephenleahy.net/tag/muckrak…

Yo no sé nada acerca de la empresa AlertNet USA Inc. pero solo pregunto, ¿por qué CIRES, propietario de la marca y la mejora “SARMEX” permite que otra empresa fabrique estos receptores beneficiando únicamente a Mdreieck?

I came here to dunk on this stupid shit but then saw AlertNet and didn’t think it was worth it.

I make it 13 years now since we started reporting on the human impacts of #climatechange & talking about the "new normal" as @UNOCHA head John Holmes put it at the time... ;) @TRF_Climate @TRF_Stories (aka AlertNet)
