Welcome to the Narco News Archives
Narco News published original investigative journalism & analysis for 19 years (2000–2019) on the “war on drugs” from Latin America, and on social movements, community organizing, nonviolent resistance and election campaigns throughout the world.
In 2001, Narco News won the landmark New York Supreme Court case, Banco Nacional de Mexico vs. Al Giordano, Mario Menendez and Narco News; this case extended First Amendment rights to the Internet and journalists who publish on it.
The independent online newspaper did not accept advertising but “cut a wide swath” (Boston Globe), with “hard-hitting reporting” (Fairness & Accuracy in Media), that “broke a string of scoops” (The Guardian), that were “on the mark and well documented” (Washington Post).
“The new, independent journalists of the Internet, as personified by Al Giordano” (Electronic Frontier Foundation), who “actually makes things happen” (Gary Webb, 1955-2004), invented “the platinum standard in Authentic Journalism” (Barry Crimmins, 1953-2018).
You can read more of what the critics have said at www.narconews.com/mediacritics1.html.
Here, free to the public, you will find two decades of reports in seven languages, including major drug war scoops by Bill Conroy, the censored San Jose Mercury-News “Dark Alliance” series by Gary Webb, early viral videos from Narco News TV, translations to English of Latin American and other international news stories otherwise unreported in the United States, in-depth reporting on the Obama presidential campaign in 2007 and 2008 by Al Giordano, “the prophet of the Obama paradigm shift” (Vanity Fair), and original reporting by hundreds of journalists from almost every corner of the planet.
The nonprofit Fund for Authentic Journalism is currently rebuilding the Narco News site to fix broken links and graphics that too often on the Internet get disappeared forever as the technology of web platforms becomes regularly replaced and must be updated to preserve the history of early online journalism.
We beg your patience as we complete this kind of archeological dig and repair of these vital reports and stories.
Please consider supporting the preservation of real reporting through the nonprofit Fund for Authentic Journalism, via the donate links at our website: authenticjournalism.org.
If you have tech skills and can volunteer to help repair and update this important historical record, please contact Al Giordano at al@organizeandwin.com.
Thank you for your readership and participation in 19 years of journalism history — and for your support as we continue to support authentic journalism in the present and future.
