Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community.

An eclectic mix of politics, issues and breaking news with an emphasis on progressive perspectives that are increasingly hard to find with our corporate-dominated media.

NewsCenter's roots go back to the early 90's when Common Dreams Editor Craig Brown was the chief-of-staff to former Congressman Tom Andrews. With access to an incredible supply of daily newspapers, magazines, journals and briefing papers, members of Congress are deluged with information but have very little time to scan through it - much less read it. Brown created a daily 'newsclips' operation for the congressman and the staff. Early every morning interns and staff would scan dozens of designated publications looking for new articles or opeds from a list of issues that were of greatest interest to the congressman and staff. By 9 am, all staff had a photocopied/collated copy of the 'Daily Clips' to carry with them all day and read in between the chaos.

The magic of the internet has made it possible to create a 'Daily Clips' for you - but even better, our NewsCenter is updated constantly -- 365-days a year. And provides you with easy access to the 'rest of the media'.
