Here is the latest E-mail from Independent World Television:

"I'm excited to tell you about an important IWT milestone.

We've just unveiled the Business Plan for IWT's next phase -- culminating in the launch of IWTnews Nightly, our flagship one-hour news show that will boldly investigate and uncompromisingly reveal the world in which we live. Together with collaborators around the world, IWTnews Nightly will become the foundation upon which we will build our global network.

You'll find a copy of our new Business Plan and a new version of the Birth of a Network video on our web site:

With this crucial piece of work completed, IWT now has the people, plan and vision to make the world's first non-profit, truly independent news network a reality. But we need your support. Your contribution will help us start producing sample IWT videos, dramatically expand our web site, and launch the public campaign for IWTnews Nightly to go on-air in 2007. To learn more, go to:

Best wishes,

A primary source of international news, IWTnews Nightly will draw on reports from our own reporters and the world's best print and online journalists. The focus is on context -- today's events in light of root causes and historical perspectives. IWTnews also covers stories that don't make the news elsewhere, about the people and forces changing our world
