Narco News Reborn

Happy New Year, kind readers… I bring good news. Here’s the short version:

Narco News will begin publishing again – “reporting on the drug war and democracy from Latin America” – in a matter of weeks.

You can take that to the bank, literally: Narco News is coming back.

In gratitude to all of you who made this happen, we will shortly be opening the floodgates of publishing at Narco News to our reliably expanding circle of Authentic Journalists, volunteers, and donors.

You used to be able to read it. Now, many more of you are going to be able to help write it, too.

If you’ve helped us (or if you soon will help us) with your time, with your talent, or with your money, then we invite you to become one of our hundreds – and eventually, a thousand or more – of “co-publishers.”

This will bring you, among other opportunities, the ability to comment, immediately and without advance moderation, on the news stories we report, and to do some reporting and commenting of your own on the Latin American beat for all our readers.

You’ll still be able to count on our pool of Authentic Journalists in Latin America for news and reports from the front. In fact, you’ll be reading more reports, from more of us, than ever before.

Additionally, Narco News is “going interactive.” No newspaper that we know of has yet opened the doors to participation by the readers in the extreme ways that we are about to do it. Over the next few weeks, as we reassemble our team of Authentic Journalists, we’ll also be conducting a public dialogue with you, a consultation, to determine how we reconstruct this monster together.
