Dick Cheney exempts himself from public information requirements; the DoD fails to address domestic violence within its ranks; farmers fight to preserve organic food standards; and more!
The NewStandard is an independent hard-news outlet covering domestic issues from a grassroots perspective. In our effort to serve as an antidote to the corporate mass media, we've recently broadened our coverage and launched an audio feature to complement our web-based content.
The five-minute weekly audio segment provides a recap of the week’s major stories and is available via direct download, streaming audio or podcast at our website:

This professional-quality broadcast is produced by staff journalist and long-time community radio reporter Catherine Komp, featuring a range of news bites from around the country on what's happening to people, why and what they're doing about it.
This week on The NewStandard Radio News Update: Dick Cheney exempts himself from public information reporting requirements; the Defense Department fails to adequately address domestic violence with its ranks; small farmers fight to preserve organic food standards; media activists fight Clear Channel and hate radio; and the US Coast Guard lags on protecting an endangered whale species.
