The New Standard, an independent news site which concentrates on fact-checking and accuracy in its reporting, is still getting off the ground and is in great need of financial support. They're a serious outfit doing the type of news that many of us at DailyKos consider is important, while still setting a standard for reporting that all news sites should aspire to. And they do this without accepting any form of advertising, and the conflict of interests that would involve.

I've been a fan of The New Standard since it began running reports from the ground in Iraq from the excellent correspondent, Dahr Jamail, at a time when virtually all journalists were embedded within the military or otherwise confined to safe areas. I also enjoy their coverage of worker rights issues and the environment.

For those of us who hope for a world with more reputable, independent media organizations, this looks to be one of the best sites to root for.
