For the last fifteen years, the Public Education Center, parent organization of www.storiesthatmatter.org, has operated two news services that continue to do ground breaking work on national security and environmental issues. Tens of millions of people continue to see the work of the National Security and Natural Resources news services work appear under the names of major news organizations around the world. Our work has appeared on all the major news magazine shows, in major papers around the world and on such international outlets broadcast as BBC and Japan’s NHK television. PEC’s work has also appeared in scores of books and hundreds of magazine articles. That will continue to happen. But starting this month, the work of the Public Education Center will break on www.storiesthatmatter.org. We will still work with the big news organizations on exclusive stories. But our version of the stories we originate will appear here. This allows PEC to keep pursuing stories we originate in ways that commercial outlets cannot.
