The U.S. military's independent news source, featuring exclusive reports from Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe and the Far East.
Stars and Stripes is a daily newspaper published for the U.S. military, DoD civilians, contractors, and their families. Unique among the many military publications, Stars and Stripes operates as a First Amendment newspaper, free of control and censorship. We have published continuously in Europe since 1942, and since 1945 in the Pacific. In those two theaters, our readers number over 100,000.*
Today, Stars and Stripes maintains news bureaus in Europe, Pacific and the Middle East to provide first-hand reporting on events in those theaters. In addition to news and sports, our daily paper contains all the elements of the hometown paper our service members left behind, from "Dear Abby" to coupons, comics and crossword puzzles. In all, we publish five daily editions: Mideast, Europe, Japan, Korea and Okinawa.
Currently, our Mideast edition is command-sponsored and distributed at no charge to downrange troops. Elsewhere, you can find our paper for sale in coin boxes and at Military Exchange store locations. We also offer affordable home delivery to subscribers in several countries: England, Germany, Guam, Italy, Japan, and Korea. For information on how to subscribe, just click on the country to which you are planning to transfer.
In addition to our regular newspaper, Stars and Stripes produces useful and informative supplements. Among these are Stripes GAMER (six issues a year), and special issues on other topics such as insurance, retirement planning, and Internet shopping. Our Welcome to Europe Guide is published three times annually; Destination Paradise is published for the Pacific community twice a year.

Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life delivers nonpartisan, timely information on issues and debates related to religion, news, politics, and international and public affairs. Find opinion poll data and reports on the death penalty, Islam, gay rights, human cloning, stem cell research, intelligent design, evolution, religion in schools, 2008 presidential candidates, and more.
Launched in 2001, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs.
The Forum pursues its mission by delivering timely, impartial information to national opinion leaders, including government officials and journalists. As a nonpartisan, non-advocacy organization, the Forum does not take positions on policy debates.
The Forum functions as both an information clearinghouse and a town hall. As a clearinghouse it tracks and aggregates news and conducts independent research, including surveys, legal backgrounders, reports, books and Q&A interviews. As a town hall, it provides a neutral venue for discussion. In these roles, the Forum serves as an important information resource for political leaders, journalists, scholars and public interest groups.
The Forum focuses on four key areas of research:
Religion and Politics - The Forum’s polling, publications and events focus on the influence of religion and religious organizations on political behavior, including voting and campaigns.
Religion and the Law - The Forum analyzes church-state controversies such as recent Supreme Court battles over the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Allegiance and school vouchers.
Religion and Domestic Policy - The Forum examines a wide range of policy debates – from abortion and gay marriage to stem cell research and faith-based initiatives.
Religion and World Affairs - The Forum explores the integral role religion plays in world affairs, with a particular focus on religion’s impact on U.S. foreign policy.
Based in Washington, D.C., the Forum is directed by Luis Lugo. The Forum is a project of the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. The Center is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts.
