PNN is a multi-media access project of POOR Magazine, dedicated to reframing the news, issues and  solutions from low and no income communities, as well as providing society with a  perspective usually not heard or seen within the mainstream media.

PNN news is generated in the Community Newsroom, and is published each week on Wednesday. If you would like to participate; email deeandtiny@poormagazine.org.

Hands and Lester are interested in your animal gossip, problems, parties and trends. We realize you might need your humans to actually transcribe your dreams, hopes and news, but don't let them edit you. We like ALL animal news, and most importantly we are interested in giving voice to a sector of society who NEVER gets heard....
