Dear TMR Readers

The McGill Report is on an indefinite break.

     After ten wonderful years of writing here about immigration, human rights and media ethics, the economic model for my brand of solo, Minnesota-based global journalism is in need of   refurbishing and repair.  

In addition, my efforts over many years to balance the requirements of the Free Speech and the Buddhist Right Speech traditions has reached a point where a hiatus would be useful. I'm also actively pursuing strong new interests in healing and health care that have grown out of my interest in journalism as profession of caring and social healing.

I know the world needs good journalism. But I can be a better journalist if I take the time to periodically refresh my understanding of my highest motivations and my most useful skills.

What is not on hiatus is my deep gratitude for the many friends I’ve made here in these past ten years, and the joy I take every day in our friendship.

May our friendship, our collaborations, and our work for a better world go on.

Be in touch,

Doug
