On March 15, when our subscription base stood at 331, World-Outlook issued an appeal to our readers to help us reach 350 subscribers by June 15. We went way over that goal. […]

Since last October, 63 people have subscribed to World-Outlook, bringing the total to 330 subscribers. Welcome! And thank you to all those who have been with us for a while. We are writing to ask all our readers to pitch in and bring the total to 350 by June 15.

The current juncture in world events has laid bare this much: The super wealthy families that rule the United States have foreign and domestic policies made of the same cloth. This is evident in Washington’s criminal assault on Venezuela or the cold-blooded execution that ICE agents just carried out on the streets of Minneapolis. The response to these events has been significant. We are confident that many of those now taking to the streets to resist these policies are looking for direction, for a political framework that will help them understand what is happening and what to do next. World-Outlook can help connect these people to the lessons of the past that can inform their actions today. Please help World-Outlook increase its reach and its subscription base.

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 needs help with translations from English into Spanish. If you have such experience and/or skills, or if you know anyone else who does, please let us know.

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.

This is an appeal to World-Outlook readers to help the site expand its subscription base.

World-Outlook is taking a two-week break between November 15 and November 30, 2022. We will return in December. Thank you for your understanding.

We are pleased to announce that World-Outlook is now bilingual! Thanks to the invaluable assistance of volunteers who have joined our team, Panorama-Mundial now exists as the Spanish-language version of the web site. Since we published our first article in Spanish on July 1—”Cuba sets example in confronting the pandemic” —we have made a concerted effort to translate each new article into Spanish. With the launch of Panorama-Mundial, we will step up these efforts, while also beginning to translate previous articles that have so far appeared only in English. This is the most significant of several steps we have taken in the past few months. Many involve new expenses. Today we are appealing to our readers to help us pay for these improvements to the site.
