Dear Colleague,

We're gearing up, investigating and reporting stories, meeting with our
Authentic Journalists around the hemisphere, and coming closer to the
day,
very soon, when Narco News begins publishing again. That's when we'll
unveil
the all-new interactive online international newspaper of the future,
too.

Meanwhile, we want your input and participation. So we have accepted an
interesting invitation for Monday night, January 12th, at 9 p.m.
Eastern
Time, at a perhaps unlikely online location, where we'll be chatting,
live,
with you…

>"The Drug Policy Forum of the New York Times-Online has invited Al
>Giordano, publisher of NarcoNews.com to be its guest on Monday,
January
>12th. Also present for this live online press conference will be
Andrew
>Grice, treasurer of The Fund for Authentic Journalism

>"The ongoing series of invitees includes judges, governors, authors
and
>dozens of other guests speaking about the 89-year-old war on drugs.
These
>online discussions were initiated by the forum participants and are
>arranged through the auspices of the New York Times, the Drug Truth
Network
>and the host of the Cultural Baggage radio show, Dean Becker.

>"Mr. Giordano will be online at 9 PM EDT for approximately one hour.
We

>"(A transcript of this discussion will be stored on the forum
website.)"

Joining us, also, will be Andrew Grice, treasurer of The Fund for
Authentic
Journalism, and some of our Authentic Journalists from throughout a
country
called América.

We'll be offering news reports and commentary, and fielding questions
about
current events regarding the drug war and democracy in Latin America,
plus
elaborating more on our plans - and soliciting your ideas - for the
re-launch of Narco News in the coming weeks.
