Since its founding nine years ago, the Center for Media and Democracy remains the world's only organization dedicated to investigating and exposing special interest propaganda. In those nine years, we've published 36 issues of our award-winning quarterly, PR Watch. CMD staff members have written three acclaimed books and spoken to thousands of people in most states and many countries. We've conducted hundreds of interviews, from the smallest radio stations to the largest TV networks, and with newspapers including the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Unfortunately, however, success in our mission does not guarantee our survival. On the contrary, it places greater demands upon us. That's why we hope you'll take a moment right now to visit our online donation page [3] and send a contribution so that our work can continue. CMD has survived as a spunky, underfunded organization thanks to a small but dedicated staff. We refuse grants from businesses and government to maintain our independence, so personal contributions from people like you are crucial in funding our work.
