The American News Service |
| The American News Service (ANS), founded by Frances
Moore Lappé and Paul Martin DuBois in 1995, was a project
of the Center for Living Democracy. Over five years, its stories covering
"America's search for solutions" appeared in over 300 newspapers and in
almost half of the top 100 newspapers by circulation. Subscribers included
the Boston Globe and USA Today Weekend. ANS was supported
by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,
the MacArthur Foundation, and the Lilly Endowment, among others. The content
of these articles, which ranges from environmental action to food pantries,
remains extremely relevant, and several of the articles appear as sidebars
in the 2003 Encyclopedia of
Community (Berkshire / Sage Reference). Because these articles
can be of great value to researchers who are studying a wide range of
community issues, Berkshire Publishing, with the kind permission of Frances
Moore Lappé, is also making the full archives available online, free of
charge.
