Kim G
publisher

Kim, also known as A Progressive Girl, founded A World of Progress while living on a mountaintop in Tennessee. Her aim then as now is publish voices that need to be heard — progressive voices seeking solutions, political and otherwise, that benefit all and not the privileged few. Kim now lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with her partner and two dogs.

Executive editor

Nunzia Rider

Nunzia Rider used to be a small cog in big media. OK, not all that small. But now she’s free of all that and doing the good work for an internet start-up that doesn’t care if she’s a radical progressive. She’s a smart-ass, foul-mouthed journalist who doesn’t let up but does sometimes get very, very tired of stupid people.

contributing editors

Michael Hinckley
editor
fearless history

Michael Hinckley is assistant chairman of the history department at Northern Kentucky University, where he receives accolades from students and colleagues for his humor and knowledge. Unlike many of the people who profess to know how we got here, he really does know and deftly explains how that was and what it portends for us today, giving us the historical perspective we need to avoid going down the path of ruin. Not that Congress will heed his warnings.
