Substance
is a monthly investigative newspaper devoted to in-depth
reporting on the major issues facing public education.
Our mission is to report facts and provide interpretations
of the news about public schools unhindered by the biases
against public education that currently infest both the "liberal" left
and the "conservative" right. We are also pro-union,
pro-child, and pro-democracy. Because of this, the news
stories in Substance provide accurate information but
never maintain the pretense of "objectivity." "Objectivity" as
it is practiced by the major media in this case means
slanting the news to reflect the biases of the millionaire
and billionaire individuals and corporations that control
the public's access to news and information.
