Give the Gift of Informationby Michael I. Niman |

Tightened corporate control of America’s media has made us an information-starved population without the tools to comprehend world and national events.
Yet, as members of a democratic republic, we are expected to vote and participate, ill-equipped as we may be. This holiday season, empower your loved ones with the gift of information.
A subscription to an alternative news venue is a gift that will keep on giving all year long. My picks: The Nation, Multinational Monitor, The Indypendent, In These Times, The American Prospect, The Progressive and Mother Jones.
Shoppers on a tight budget can also send subscriptions to on-line news services such as the World War Four Report and Truthout.
To help you get started I’ve put together a web page linking to subscription information for all of the magazines and news services listed here. In some cases, you’ll have to make and send your own gift card. See www.mediastudy.com/subscribe.html.
