New ANS Website to Educate Public About Astrology

1
I am reposting this from the ISAR newsletter:
---------------------------

After the recent media circus over the "13th Sign," many of you wrote to your astrological organizations about the need for the astrological community to respond collectively to this latest challenge to astrology. We are pleased to announce an exciting new program that will do just that - the Astrology News Service.

In May 2010 ISAR, NCGR, AFAN and the AFA began a dialogue about the need to educate the public about astrology. To enable the community to more effectively confront its critics, overcome objections and generally improve the impressions people have of astrology and astrologers, the organizations formed the Astrology News Service (ANS).

The ANS website
http://astrologynewsservice.com
Launched Feb. 9, 2011 astrologynewsservice.com will be the first online astrological newspaper exclusively written for an informed general audience. Articles posted on the website will feature all types of astrology, as well as focus on issues related to astrology's believability and value to society.

ANS will also provide professionally written news releases and other press related materials directly to traditional and online media using a new media distribution system that has been created with support from the astrological organizations. Editors and broadcasters will be urged to visit the website and use the content posted there as source material.

The ANS is grateful to the astrological organizations whose support has made this project possible. As a volunteer-driven effort, the ANS will rely on you and other members of the astrological community for story ideas, volunteers, and other inspirational ideas. In the coming weeks, we'll also be reaching out to additional astrological organizations to continue to forge ties between groups and create a unified voice.

We hope you'll visit the website at http://astrologynewsservice.com/
and help us spread the word!
