Welcome Note
TRANSCEND Media Service -TMS is both a service to other media and a medium in its own right. You are most welcome to use all the material presented–no copyright, no fees–but attribution would be appreciated.
There is still much text and commentary, but the proportion of longer videos and other features will increase as we upgrade TMS. Have some patience with us!
Every Monday we post a Video of the Week and Commentaries on current events from various subjects and parts of the world, drawing on the TRANSCEND network, which covers much of the world, and others.
The section Peace Journalism Perspective is inspired by a solution orientation, trying to identify the conflicts underlying the violence–direct and structural–so rampant in the world. And to search for a way out, a solution, itself in search of agency. The basic point about peace journalism is multi-truth, multi-angle reporting, with an inspiring, positive solution-orientation.
There are also links to related websites that may be of interest to our viewers, and we are grateful for proposals to the managing editor of www.transcend.org/tms.
We send a TMS Weekly Digest to subscribers to the website.
Again, welcome to TRANSCEND Media Service. Please help us make it better, as an antidote to the corporate media mono-angle negativism always in search of bombs, violence and catastrophes to report!
