Centre for Research on Globalization (independent research group and organization of writers, journalists, scholars and activists)

Democracy Now! (independent daily news report)

Independent Media Centre (collective of independent media organizations and journalists)

Ode magazine (for intelligent optimists)

Ohmynews (international citizen journalism)

Wikinews (collaborative news on Wiki platform)

Worldwatch Institute (solid data and innovative strategies for a sustainable world)

Yes! magazine (supporting you in building a just and sustainable world)
