Effective today, AlterNet has been acquired by the owners of Raw Story. It’s part of a long-planned transition that will ensure the stability and future of the AlterNet brand, and allow AlterNet’s former parent to return to focusing on what they do best – producing the amazing and insightful news and commentary you expect every day. In the coming months, you will see a new front page design and additional mobile functionality. This will bring AlterNet into a more contemporary format and allow us to work more easily with the content management platform.
