Our Mantra: Shoe String Budget and Skeleton Stuff but without compromise with journalism ethics 
We launched our our much awaited interactive international magazine style website https://www.crimeandmoreworld.com on November, 2018, and an affiliate of VOA which  emphasizes on crime against Humanity whether it is crime against Women, Child Abuse, Cross Border Terrorism, Refugee Crisis or issues that matter most but without any partisan view. WE WOULD NOT SIDE POLITICALLY NOR HAVE ANY IDEOLOGICAL PREFERENCE   In our magazine style website ( Daily hourly Updated) we present news relating to crime against humanity and other related topics which usually avoid by mainstream media.We also believe that it is the right time to speak out loud against Fake News.
We would like to clarify that our website title CRIME AND MORE WORLD then sub title: Crime Against Humanity: Make Yourself Heard then Tagline: No Left or Right Its About People
So there will be no confusion that its emphasizes news on crime against humanity and human interest stories.Crime Against Humanity includes Crime Against Women,Domestic Violence,Sex Trafficking, Child Abuse even Forceful Repatriation of Refugees,Rohingya Massacre,Bid to Curb Press Freedom, Regressive Policies Against Ethnic Minorities.
Gone are the days when glossy magazines published crime stories to glorify crime~ less facts more adjectives.After all sex and hate sell but public interest journalism does not allow these kind of journalism.Facts are more important than adjectives.
Beside Rape,Murder,Molestation,Child abuse even when a left wing or right wing government try to implement their policies forcefully by violating ordinary people’s human rights to appease majority it’s also a heinous crime~ crime against humanity-Suppress truth also a crime.
As Journalists we do agree with experts that  digital publication is the best way for communication and spreading awareness.Journalism seeks a popular audience rather than academic one.Blend news with entertainment to reach the masses.Keeping in mind the increasing crime against humanity, public interest journalism can educate and aware people about these social menace.As journalists we should know that we are not here ( journalism) to merely make a living. We should believe in Mission of Journalism.And obviously, crowd funding is the future of journalism if we want to avoid outside interference in editorial policies.

Under the guidence of Shanthanu Bhattachaarya,an experienced media blogger and news researcher based in Kolkata, West Bengal.

We  have a  plan to conduct regular  workshops on Mobile Journalism (MOJO)-producing broadcasting quality videos- the visual story telling skill for rural and semi urban women with poor economic background free of cost and provide them complete kits with Mobile cameras,Tripods,Monopods,Microphones,Lenses,Mobile Stabilizer,Lights to capture the real stories of of women, their achievements, their struggle, their fight back. They can also earn decent  money as community journalists.We do believe that it's not the camera,it's journalism,not the size and price of the device-it's the skill behind the camera that matters most.

We did some experimental works which reflected the concept of independent  journalism. Few years back, we edited an alternative women's print magazine in  Bengali language which emphasized on women's empowerment with shoestring budget and skeleton stuff but without compromising content and  production quality. We also published Bengali translation of important articles written by eminent writers from around the world with their written consent.So we have the expertise to produce international quality magazines both print and online.We also have the expertise how to use the internet without violating someone's copyright.We do believe that internet is not a public domain.We need some fund of around $ 3500 to run our not for profit ventures.
Our patrons or donors will get  attractive rewards including cash back up to 50% (depending on donated amount),exclusive gifts,mementos and direct mention on the website with their photos.
