About Us

gutenberg

All of us here are devoted to calling our reader’s attention to news that may well be underreported. We strive to provide original prose, rather than cutting and pasting from elsewhere. Ideally, our goal is to bring together other information sources along with our articles to deepen the appreciation of our readers of what is behind a story. Although it leads sometimes to the danger of “dead links” we always link over to other news stories that are sources for our own news leads.

Right now, we are volunteers, supporting ourselves elsewhere and writing here as a labour of love. Despite this, we hope to have enough money coming in to pay ourselves and some new writers a decent wage. Whatever our great hopes for the future, that is where we are at now. Although we are a news site, we freely admit to an assortment of political interests and biases, about which we are frank with our readership.

 

We offer films and documentaries as well as music. In addition to browsing our categories in our side bar, if you type the word VIDEO in the search box, it will bring up many full length documentaries, films and music videos. Our content includes a lot of items designed to be as interesting in six months as they are today. All of our foreign films and documentaries have subtitles.

Our currently active staff writers are  the following

Elias Bassevi – World News

Max Koenigsberg – US News

Ilan Zuta – Israeli and Jewish News

Rudi Stettner- General News

Paul Kovacs – Opinion

Szelma Braun General Editor

Rudi Stettner is our general editor. In practice, it is he who flags typos and factual errors, correcting both as quickly as possible. He can be contacted at thewinterriders@gmail.com. If you have comments addressed to a particular author, he will forward such comments to the writer in question. We welcome feedback and constructive criticism from our readers.

    I’m the mother of this missing teen Emily miller that was recently found that you posted that amber alert on. I just wanted to say thank you for posting it.

      I have children and grandchildren. I’ve had my tough times with them. Emily’s story touched my heart. I am deeply grateful that she is home

      I did that immediately. I have no idea how your personal data got mixed into that picture. I replaced it with a Wikipedia picture which has no personal data attached. My apologies, it was truly accidental

Rabindranath Tagore Stamp

Rabindranath Tagore Stamp

THOU hast made me known to friends whom I knew not. Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own. Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger. I am uneasy at heart when I have to leave my accustomed shelter; I forgot that there abides the old in the new, and that there also thou abidest.
Through birth and death, in this world or in others, wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same, the one companion of my endless life who ever linkest my heart with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar. When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut. Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose the bliss of the touch of the One in the play of the many.

Rabindranath Tagore (Gitangeli)
