Get Involved

One of the purposes of this campaign, apart from raising a few months of running costs, is to identify more of the people needed for this project.  If you are a non-political, non-religious news gatherer, speaker, writer, editor, researcher or activist in any of the subjects we cover, then:
— you might wish to collaborate with the ANP by letting us take your output to a bigger audience by sending us your press releases, articles and announcements;
— you might wish to join our team of news and info gatherers and get paid for your time, effort and interest; or
— you might wish to collaborate with the ANP by telling your audience about our project, in exchange for us telling our audience about your project.
