Its called The Public Record. He has William Fisher, one of the great writers and authors from TruthOut writing there for starters. The co-founder of TPR is listed as Matt Shershow. From the About Us section of the site:

The Public Record, or TPR, is a nonprofit, independent, investigative news magazine.

TPR features hard-hitting original reports and biting commentary covering a wide-range of domestic and international issues. We have cultivated the best, the brightest, and the bravest journalistic minds and provided them with a media outlet to showcase their work.

We believe the independent and mainstream media have become saturated with individuals who opine and pontificate instead of report. Sadly, that means many important topics are not being covered. That is a void we intend to fill.

The Public Record is modeled after two newsletters published and reported by two muckraking journalists we have long admired: I.F. Stone, who published I.F. Stone’s Weekly, and George Seldes, who published In Fact. We decided to call this publication The Public Record as a way of paying homage to Mr. Stone, who, to paraphrase the man, famously remarked that there is a wealth of important information in the public record if one simply took the time to search for it.

Think I will wander around their site for a bit. If you do, my dear reader, tell me what you think…
