There is a higher calling — one that rests in an honored realm beyond the ordinary affairs of men.
It is a sacred place — having been erected in the traditions of freedom, and consecrated in the blood of those who have paid the ultimate price in pursuing journalism’s enduring quest for truth.
The Honorable House Of The Fourth Estate being that place in the American experience where the bells of freedom ring loud and clear so that all free men and women shall forever know what matters most to their livelihoods, families, communities and nation.
Credible - Responsible - Probative
Credibility is the foundation for all journalism no matter medium or method of transmission.Relevancy to our livelihoods, families, communities and nation are central to how we define news.
New media journalism is a servant of the people.
Being relevant demands that new media journalism stand-in for our viewers, readers, listeners or visitors and defend the public’s right to know what persons, institutions and governments are doing in the name of free and sovereign citizens.
Experienced and credible new media news services are tenured, qualified and full fledged members of the free press, second to none and equal to all.
Probity, accuracy, balance, provenance, and credibility in journalism are the currency of the realm in earning and maintaining public trust and confidence.

Prospects For Global Manufacturing Recovery Dim, Says New UN Report
New York, Dec 3 2012
New setbacks have dimmed the prospects of a global manufacturing recovery, says a new United Nations report released today which finds that growth in this sector has remained sluggish in the third quarter of 2012, with output rising by just 2.2 per cent compared to the same quarter last year, the lowest rate since 2009.
According to the world manufacturing production statistics for the third quarter of 2012, published by the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), trends for the first half of this year were a mixture of dynamic growth in North America, East Asia and developing countries, and uncertainty in Europe.
However, the latest production data indicate “a stronger recession in Europe and a weakened recovery in North America and East Asia, as well as a sustained slowdown in developing countries,” the Vienna-based agency said in a news release.
It added that industrialized countries, as a group, have experienced a decrease in industrial production for the first time since 2009.

Austria, Malta and Slovakia were among the few nations registering positive growth.
Manufacturing output in Japan decreased by 4.6 per cent, while it grew by 4.1 per cent in the United States and by 0.3 per cent in Russia.
The agency pointed out that, compared to industrialized countries, the rate of industrial growth of developing countries remained high, however the impact of global contraction is clear.
The manufacturing output of developing countries grew by 6.6 per cent in the third quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, but fell by 2.3 per cent compared to the second quarter.
Manufacturing output in China grew year-on-year by 9.2 per cent, in Mexico by 4.1 per cent and in Turkey by 3.3 per cent. India achieved a nominal growth of 0.2 per cent but manufacturing output fell in Latin American countries.
Manufacturing in African countries, which depends heavily on the export of primary processed commodities to Europe, has also slowed down. Based on limited data, UNIDO estimates that the manufacturing output of African countries as a group rose by just 2.6 per cent. South Africa showed a rise of 2.9 per cent, but Egypt’s output fell by 5.9 per cent.
