Help World-Outlook Win New Subscribers

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Over the last month, World-Outlook and its sister publication in Spanish Panorama-Mundial have published unique coverage of U.S. and world events. We ask you to use the information in this post to try to convince at least one of your acquaintances, colleagues, friends, fellow students, neighbors, or relatives to subscribe to World-Outlook. Increasing World-Outlook’s subscription base will widen the site’s reach. It will also provide new impetus to improve our coverage. Comments and reactions from subscribers, or initiatives from readers to cover events in their areas, often result in invaluable articles or opinion columns clarifying important political questions.

World-Outlook is pleased to announce that Yvonne Hayes has joined our editorial staff, which also includes Argiris Malapanis, Duane Stilwell, and Francisco Picado. In addition, our appeal for more Spanish translators has paid off. A new volunteer, who wishes to stay anonymous, has joined the Panorama-Mundial editorial staff, enabling us to begin to keep up with timely translation into Spanish of all World-Outlook publications.

World-Outlook Takes Summer Break

World-Outlook is taking a break for the remainder of the summer. Other than Spanish-language translations of articles already published, we do not plan to post new materials over the next five weeks. During this period, if a major event occurs in the world, we may try to respond, if possible. We plan to resume publication in September.

How to Follow Comments on World-Outlook Posts

By on • ( Leave a comment )

World-Outlook subscribers are notified by email when a new article is published. However, readers are only notified of comments on an article if they themselves post a comment and check the box provided to be informed of other comments. We would prefer readers were made aware of all comments as they appear, but WordPress, our host, does not allow for that. If a reader chooses to post a comment on an article, that reader can enable notifications of comments posted by others, on that specific article, so they can follow the discussion.

Thanks for a Successful Fund Drive!

By on • ( 2 Comments )

World-Outlook extends its heartfelt thanks to all those who made our fall fund drive a success. Thirty-one contributors donated $1,810, exceeding expectations. Of that amount, $190 comes from ongoing monthly donations from five new sustaining contributors, boosting recurring pledges to $270 per month. We plan to use this money to improve the quality of the web site — including Spanish-language translations of all articles on Panorama-Mundial — and to expand our reach and readership.

An Appeal to Our Readers & Thanks to Contributors

By on • ( 2 Comments )

Dear Friends, World-Outlook needs your help! To continue to maintain our website and expand our list of subscribers, we are need our readers to assist with covering our costs. Over the last year, we have taken steps to improve the content, reach, readability, and functionality of our website. World-Outlook sent reporters to provide eyewitness coverage of important developments in the class struggle, such as the union organizing efforts at Amazon warehouses; we purchased software to allow rapid and accurate transcription of videotaped interviews and sought publishing permission for articles and photos; we fully integrated the English and Spanish sides of the website; and we increased World-Outlook’s visibility on social media. Please help us build on these successes by encouraging your friends, colleagues, and acquaintances to subscribe to the site. Equally vital is your financial support.

A Change to World-Outlook’s Home Page Banner Graphic

By on • ( 2 Comments )

November 14, 2021—Readers who look at World-Outlook’s Home Page today will notice a change in the banner graphic display. Rather than one featured image there are now four. The original illustration that has appeared since the launching of the website—a Diego Rivera mural titled “Mexico Today and Tomorrow,” featuring Karl Marx, the founder of scientific socialism—is still there. We have added three new images that depict important struggles in the United States today. These are photos from the fight against police brutality and racism, for women’s right to choose abortion, and of striking workers at the Kellogg company.
