Grant-Funded Op-Ed Cartoon Material



I find this fascinating: a public coming-out for a progressive news syndicate called Minuteman that has been in existence since 1998. Their cartoonist is Khalil Bendib (work pictured above). Apparently the syndicate asked not to be cited when articles were run, in part so that conservatives wouldn't react to their market presence by releasing a flood of free editorial content in direct competition. Neither half of that last sentence reflects well on the realities of the newspaper content business. Sheesh. Also, Minuteman has been supported to a certain extent by grants. Now that they've gained a four-figure foothold they're asking to be credited in order to better call attention to their efforts.
