About the Site

ANN has a simple mission. The purpose of the site is to educate.  Many of us find that we are too busy for well balanced "current events consumption."  This is troubling considering our mainstream sources for news media fixes.  Sure, CNN is a preferred favorite for me when I want to consume large quantities of news stories dripping in "fat."  This fat is the glitz and glamore of a news media program, the fancy effects, the pretty anchors and the flashy manners in which the news is provided.  This makes for great television entertainment, but isn't the best method for expressing the severity or positive events occuring every minute of every day.  Similarly, our days are increasingly hectic.  Scholars say our society is a stressed one as the complexities of human existence continue to increase.  I'd venture to say we spend more time - on average - selecting our attire for the day than we do becoming familiar with current events.

This is where ANN enters your daily program.  Trust this site like you trust the fancy news sites when it comes to determining the most important news stories of your day.  The sites stories
are from the days headlines explaining in a few brief paragraphs the event and key information.  Our goal is to provide the facts. Our stories always are concluded with links to the sources of our own investigation as well as other news sources that provide a kind of checks and balance type system.  Here we add the grain of salt you should be adding yourself to news stories.  If FoxNews is covering a story that nobody else has, that story will probably not be presented here.  Some other news media network would need to provide information about the event as well so that we can make our own educated decision about the stories relevance, likelihood and honesty.  These links are also there to provide you with access to the story in case you have more interest in the subject.  There you can find the additional information we do not include in our stories.

After this is where the site gets interesting including the author's commentary.  This commentary helps keep our news stories opinion free by providing the author a way to make an educated and mature response to the subject matter.  This is then followed by an optional commentary form for you, the reader, to contribute your own opinion.  You also can use that to e-mail the stories author for more information.  Now ANN is a news site, a blog, and a message board creating a full interactive experience for the readers.

ANN is your site.  Use it to its full potential.
