Dear Readers,
It's been six years and over 13,000 articles published by some 250 of the world's finest politically progressive writers some 20 per cent with Ph.D.s.
It's been a labour of love for myself, doing my thing to help educate people to ideas that I believe needed to be shared and some 2.5 million people read articles on this site over the years.
In 2011 Atlantic Free Press won a Computerworld Honors Laureate for Innovation - honoured for visionary application of IT to promote positive social, economic and educational change including category co-winners from NASA and Duke University.
It's a fitting last act for Atlantic Free Press. And I say finale because I can no longer afford the time to dedicate to AFP with a young family and a career in technology that's just become to big a part of my life to pull the time needed to run this site pro bono. Thanks to all those who helped donate over the years but this project still cost me money in server bills. I was just not able to make it a commercial viability.
I will of course leave the site up for posterity. If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me.
Pacific Free Press will live on edited by Chris Cook in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Please visit him and the writers there and feel free to contact Chris if you would like to write for Pacific Free Press. editor@pacificfreepress.com
