Monthly Traffic Approaches 100,000 at PEJ.org

PEJ News (Peace, Earth and Justice) began just over a year ago. The site provides an alternative window to news and opinion not available generally in mainstream corporate media. The site provides original and reprinted material form all over the world. Focus has been on Canada and the United States and the interaction these countries policies and action have on our communities and the world.

PEJ News traffic has been increasing substantially since the new year began.

Not bad for a volunteer-run non-profit news organization! Fox News look out. (Fox's ratings are down. Credibility problems perhaps?)

PEJ News has published a free email news service since 1996 and started its successful web service in January 2004. Again for free, with all 2,400 stories and more available in the public Archives.
