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]
