NPI makes a difference by bringing you coverage you won't find elsewhere

As Kathleen noted in her post last week:
The slow collapse of our local news delivery system is just one of the reasons why the work of the Northwest Progressive Institute is so vital.
No media outlet can be everywhere at all times. What makes the Northwest Progressive Institute different is not only our progressive view of the world around us, but the varied coverage of local, regional and national events that we bring to you.

Just last week, while our own Executive Director moderated the King County Democrats forum for county executive candidates, our team was on the scene reporting live from the event.

Last August, NPI was on the ground in Denver bringing you live coverage of the Democratic National Convention. While others may have brought you celebrity sightings, funky hats and pin collectors, we tried to convey the historic nature of the convention and make you feel like you were there with us. And then when history was made and Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, we were there reporting from the scene.

In June 2008, NPI was there to bring you a tour of Sound Transit's Central Link facilities, a behind-the-scenes look at the new route that will link downtown Seattle to Tukwila and the SeaTac International Airport.

NPI has also had a presence at the annual gathering of progressives and netroots activists known as Netroots Nation (formerly Yearly Kos). From our Executive Director, Andrew Villeneuve, sharing our knowledge with others to build the progressive movement, to our team reporting from sessions and sharing knowledge gained with our readers, NPI is committed to learning from the experiences and best practices of other progressives and bringing that information to you.

The NPI team is committed to keeping you informed by bringing you informative original reporting from events in our region and beyond. While none of our staff is paid, there are costs associated with the work that NPI does. Can we count on you to make a donation to help us build the progressive future that we all want?
