Little more than a week remains of what is arguably the most disparaged year in recent history. Perhaps because it’s therapeutic to lash out at an actual villain responsible for our trials and tribulations, the year 2020 has been at once humanized, vilified and imbued with blame – its persona spawning a virtual industry of “malign memes.”
At The Media Line, we share the stress we’ve all felt: the disorganization of our lives, restrictions and regulations that turn our existences upside down; the new pressures that now attach to just staying the course.
We are humbled by our donors’ recognition of the need for independent media to carry on without interruption. The need to know and hear the news from agenda-free, reliable and trustworthy sources is more acute than ever during difficult times. (TML is the first independent American news agency covering the Middle East, now entering our 21st year.)
It’s also more difficult – and expensive – to report, produce and distribute contextual and truthful news as we do every day at The Media Line. And working in the Middle East, it never ends! From conflicts to accords, we’re on it!
There is still time to make an end-of-year gift to our nonprofit [501(c)(3)] American news agency. You can do so online at https://themedialine.org/donate/ [3].
Happy Holidays from The Media Line. Wishing you all a healthy end of 2020 (boo!) and cheerful greeting to 2021 (yay!).
