Pearls and Irritations

Independent media is more important now than ever before. Pearls and Irritations needs your financial support to keep improving and growing. With the shortcomings of our mainstream media, the role of P&I is more and more important.

We face major public policy issues — a pending climate catastrophe, the increasingly dangerous relations between the US and China in our region, and growing national and international inequality. We do not seek "balance" in our content. We focus on what we consider truthful reporting and analysis.

We will continue our policy of not accepting advertising and will not introduce a pay-wall. We do not accept political donations. Donations are not tax deductible. Please help us to improve our content and make it available to more readers — your financial support is very important for our continuing work.

— John Menadue, Chair and Editor in Chief
