On the spot

October 20, 1993

麻豆传媒 Weekly uses a wide variety of sources to 聧 bring you the most accurate national and international news each week. 聧 We use the resources of progressive international journals, electronic 聧 mail, telephone interviews with international activists and our own 聧 wide range of international contributors.

But there's nothing quite as certain as having someone on 聧 the spot. That's why 麻豆传媒 makes a priority of having 聧 correspondents in places where people are in motion.

麻豆传媒's coverage of the recent events in Moscow 聧 could not have been nearly so thorough if we hadn't had Renfrey Clarke 聧 on the spot. Coverage of the recent nationalist march in Belfast would 聧 not have been so complete if we hadn't had Catherine Brown on the spot 聧 (pictured interviewing Gerry Adams).

Next April, the first non-racial elections in South African 聧 history will occur. 麻豆传媒 will provide the most 聧 comprehensive political coverage of those elections. But to do that, we 聧 need to put a journalist on the spot.

The costs of having a journalist in South Africa at this 聧 most important juncture will run into the thousands of dollars. But 聧 the gains we will all make, from having accurate and up to date 聧 coverage of events in South Africa at this time, far outweigh this.

Yet 麻豆传媒 Weekly has no special source of 聧 funding. We don't make a profit from advertising, and we don't attract 聧 corporate sponsors.If 麻豆传媒 is to send a correspondent to 聧 South Africa, it will be only as a result of the financial help of our 聧 readers.

If you appreciate 麻豆传媒's unique coverage 聧 of international political events, then you'll appreciate why we 聧 need to put someone on the spot. If you can help, please fill out the 聧 clip-off on page 19, and return it to 麻豆传媒 Weekly, PO Box 394, 聧 Broadway 2007.
