Review for ProCon.org, Santa Monica, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ProCon.Org is a commercially-viable non-profit that sticks to the facts-- pro or con-- on the most talked-about and controversial issues in society and media today. In the "split channel" universe that has arisen to replace the major 3 network newscasts of 30 years ago, one "channel" has emerged that is religiously and meticulously even-handed and fact-checked.

I stumbled upon ProCon.org by accident. Once I explored their site and saw how transparent and accessible they were to "viewers," I put them at the top of my honesty list. Literally every metric for a non-profit media property is open to public view.

As a valuable national media property that fills a gaping void in our hyper-opinionated media universe, but also as a true kind-spirited national charity simply seeking critical thinking from its users, ProCon.Org is abundantly unique and deserving of broad financial support. In the splintered "big media" marketplace, I believe strongly that ProCon.Org will emerge as the last credible place for sincerely undecided people (or objective researchers) to learn and get a fair, objective view of issues in a non-combative environment.

This is the future of individualized news media, and it is truly alone as a guiding light for intelligent life in a galaxy of screaming (non) stars.


If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Position ProCon.Org as a news "pump" or wire service organization to mass media. In an age of predictable cutbacks in traditional news gathering, ProCon.Org's highly objective and well-produced content could replace significant opinion providers who have grown eager to merely pander to mass audiences. Today's viewers are not tolerant of "being told," and would welcome the choice-giving quality of this unique brand of digital journalism.
