Open Forum

As an open forum news blog, Counterview strives to reflect diverse perspectives—through news stories, articles, and blogs—for those who believe that official information is not necessarily synonymous with authenticity. We provide a platform for those who prefer not to rely solely on "mainstream" media, which often depends heavily on information from official sources. Our aim is not to dictate how readers should think, but to provide a space for reflection on different, and often opposing, news and views.
Why are we called "Counterview"? A closer look at the term reveals an interesting nuance: it does not merely mean "an opposite point of view," but also "a position in which two dissimilar things illustrate each other by opposition; contrast." In this sense, Counterview connotes the reflection of news and views from alternative, and even contrasting, quarters.
As a purely voluntary initiative, Counterview is not supported by any organization. We invite you to enrich this effort by contacting us.

Dolly Parton: From a mountain cabin to a library for the world

By Suresh Deman  Born in a one-room cabin in the Tennessee mountains, Dolly Parton turned poverty into poetry, heartbreak into song, and her father's inability to read into a programme that has given more than 300 million books to children. Her remarkable journey suggests that a life is measured not only by how far one travels, but by what one sends back *** Dolly Parton was born into poverty, but never into a poverty of imagination. She entered the world on 19 January 1946 in the mountains of East Tennessee, the fourth of twelve children. The Parton family had little money and few of the comforts that much of America would eventually take for granted. Her father, Robert Lee Parton, farmed, built and laboured wherever work could be found. Her mother, Avie Lee, possessed a different kind of wealth. She filled the crowded home with Appalachian songs, stories, faith and the conviction that hardship need not extinguish beauty. Dolly's childhood poverty was not something later inven...
