Help Support Worldpress.org 
Dear Readers,
Thank you for your continued support of Worldpress.org. When World Press Review magazine shut down in April 2004, and it became clear that the plug would be pulled on the Web site as well, my company, All Media Inc., purchased the rights to Worldpress.org. Since then it has been a tough but rewarding experience running the Web site.
When Worldpress.org first launched in 1997,
we had 50 unique visitors. Today we have over 850,000 unique visitors
a month and 500,000 hits a day. Our tremendous growth stand as testimony
to the importance of presenting the issues and debates from around the
world.
Since our launch, Worldpress.org has published
thousands of articles - from daily news reports and analyses of ongoing
political events, to essays on history, social issues, and popular culture.
Our unbiased reporting and our commitment to giving voice to the voiceless
have won us international respect and recognition.
But respect and recognition is not why we do what we do.
It has NEVER been more important for Americans - especially our youth - to understand that what's happening outside the U.S. is just as important as what's happening inside the U.S. Events large and small, far and near, can have a huge impact on our future.
Worldpress.org wants to continue bringing you news and views from around the world, but these are difficult times. We need your help.
Although we feel uncomfortable asking for your assistance, the demise of the magazine has taught us a valuable lesson: If our readers don't know about our financial struggle, they can't help us meet our needs.
Worldpress.org depends upon consulting fees, advertising revenue, ancillary product sales and donations to ensure its success.
You can support Worldpress.org by visiting our site often and telling everyone you know about us. The more visitors we have to the site, the better our chances to continue our work.
You can also help support Worldpress.org by buying our products, using our services, and clicking on our advertisements.
Every page view and every advertisement click-through increases our advertising revenue. Every World Conflict Map we sell and every Web site we design or optimize generates income we desperately need to keep Worldpress.org operating.
Yet another way you can help support Worldpress.org is by making a donation, either to our International Editor of the Year Award fund, or to our General Operations fund. (See below.)
The demands of the current political situation confront Worldpress.org with new responsibilities and ever-more challenging tasks. The war in Iraq, the growing attacks on democratic rights, and the disturbing living conditions of people around the world all play a huge part in why Worldpress.org feels it must continue to give a voice to the mostly voiceless.
Again, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Teri Schure
Founder

World Press Review's Annual International Editor of the Year Award
In 1974, we discovered that there were many awards for writers, artists and photographers, but no awards or recognition for international editors, so World Press Review created the International Editor of the Year award.
World Press Review's Editor of the Year recipient is selected by our editors in consultation with our correspondents, translators, contributing editors and others, both here in the United States and internationally.
Many editors outside the United States risk their lives just going to work each day because they play a huge part in promoting freedom of speech and justice in their countries.
World Press Review presents the award each year to an editor or editors outside the United States in recognition of enterprise, courage, and leadership in advancing the freedom and responsibility of the press, in enhancing human rights, and in fostering excellence and truth in journalism.
We fly the recipient to New York, set up meetings and a luncheon at the United Nations, and put together interviews for them with the United States press. Our budget for this event was never extravagant, but we presently have no budget at all for the event, which usually takes place at the end of each year.
The history of the award is rich, and the past 33 recipients of the award have experiences that are incredible in their own right.
How can you help?
- Donate to the Editor of the Year Award Fund. All donations will go toward meeting the award's expenses.
