AmericaInTheWorld is a
- London-based international alliance opposed to anti-Americanism as well as American isolationism. Via our briefings, we aim to provide the number one factual resource for those who wish to hear the case against anti-Americanism. Our goal is to increase understanding of America, to debunk some of the leading myths about the United States, and to make a positive case for a continuing leading role for America in the world.[1]
Conservative leader David Cameron was guest of honour at the London launch of AITW in November 2008.[2]The group was due to host an address by BBC North America editor Justin Webb in a joint event with the New Culture Forum later in the month.[3]
History
AmericaInTheWorld replaces a previous pro-American blog founded by Tim Montgomerie.
- I closed down BritainAndAmerica a number of months ago because Stephan Shakespeare (publisher) and I felt it lacked a clear purpose. AmericaInTheWorld.com has very clear aims, set out in its manifesto and in its masthead.[4]
Funding
Th site's masthead states that it receives no US funding.
- AmericaInTheWorld is launched and funded by supporters of America in London and around the world. AmericaInTheWorld receives no American government or corporate funding.[5]
In response to a question on this point Peter Cuthbertson stated "we’ve sought no funding and received no funding from US-based endowments or quangos."[6]
People
- Tim Montgomerie Director
- Peter Cuthbertson Director
