(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #235 - The independent press in danger: Subscribe! (fr, pt)

The distribution of the press is in danger. Small titles that enrich the political, 
cultural and voluntary union debate, are the first victims of the "reforms" in progress, 
and it is not a coincidence ... Distribution of newspapers at newsstands today is a victim 
of the destruction of the principles from the Liberation determined in the program of the 
National Resistance Council to support a pluralistic press outcome resistant networks, but 
penniless. First principle: share costs by grouping titles shipping through couriers News 
of the Parisian press (now Presstalis, the distribution of the press in kiosks). Second 
principle: ensure exposure of all the titles in booth for equal access to readers: a kiosk 
could not refuse to issue a title.

But Presstalis experienced a reform whereby, through the pricing of these two principles 
are now broken. Have his newspaper kiosk has become a luxury. The privatization of the 
Post and the opening of its activities to the competition result in explosion postal 
rates. All this greatly weakens the financial balance of our press.

To allow our newspaper to continue publishing, the only solution is to increase our number 
of subscriber-es. The safest and easiest way to support us, medium and reading us monthly 
cost is to subscribe, renew your subscription or talk around you.
