The New People is a monthly peace and justice newspaper of Pittsburgh and the Tri-State area. Its mission is to provide a media outlet that reflects the reality of progressive, alternative politics locally, nationally and globally, filling the voids left by the mainstream media. As a publication of the Thomas Merton Center, the paper reports on the issues of war, poverty, racism and oppression, raising the moral questions involved in the non-violent struggle to bring about a more peaceful and just world. The NewPeople acts as an organizing tool and communiqué for the Thomas Merton Center members and the activist community at large. Become a TMC member and you'll receive the newspaper delivered to your home every month. Join the TMC’s Editorial Collective to help us ensure The NewPeople’s continued development as a responsible, progressive, meaningful publication of Pittsburgh’s peace and justice community. Editorial Collective members look out for stories for the paper and new places to distribute it. The group also discusses issues and makes important decisions regarding the paper’s content, production and distribution. The EC meets twice a month -- just before publication to edit and correct articles, and again after publication to review the paper and discuss items to publish in future editions of The NewPeople. Participation requires only a commitment to peace and justice and the ability to read and think. Experience and knowledge in writing, editing or producing material for publication is helpful, but not necessary. Interested?
