Public Justice Report Goes Online

After 28 years of publication, the Public Justice Report will now be published online.

What does that mean?

It means that the content of each quarterly issue will be posted online, where you can read it or print it out. You may still order hard-copy versions from the Center.

Why are we doing this?

There are several reasons: 

-The online version gives us the flexibility to publish a greater number of articles when the opportunity arises. 
-The electronic version allows us to publish longer articles and essays that would not fit the printed format.
-The online format will make it easier to encourage exchanges between readers and writers. We will add a section for authors to respond to your letters.
-An online publication is transmitted quickly and saves the costs of printing and mailing. We can also send the Report more easily and quickly to our international audience. 
-And finally, publishing the Report this way eliminates some of the editorial time needed to prepare a print version.

What will be lost?

We hope that nothing will be lost and everything gained. Those who want or need printed copies of particular articles or whole issues can get them. Those who have access to the web will have more flexibility in reading and using each issue. Those of us who produce the Report will be able to offer more content at less expense more quickly and flexibly.

How will you learn about the availability and content of each quarterly issue when it appears?

An announcement will be e-mailed to subscribers letting them know a new issue is online. The e-mail will contain a direct link to the issue on our web site. To subscribe to the Public Justice Report, please send an email to laura@cpjustice.org.

With the inauguration of President Bush and the convening of a new Congress, there is much to consider in assessing the health and well-being of the American republic and its role in the world. We look forward to serving you better with political commentary, in-depth essays, book reviews, interviews, background reports, and author responses to your letters. And we look forward to your help in advancing serious civic engagement and debate in 2005.
