It was launched in 2007 by Paul Jay, a former producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[2]
The Real News journalist committee includes Lewis H. Lapham, Gore Vidal, Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, and Howard Zinn.[3] The most recurring political analysts are Aijaz Ahmad, Pepe Escobar and Eric Margolis.
