NewsBlaze is now an American company, and of course we are still news for Americans.
At NewsBlaze we strive to provide useful news and information, and the editors work hard to maintain high editorial standards. We proofread and edit every story for spelling, grammar, format and meaning.
If you see a problem, we’d love to hear about it, so we can make corrections. Send us an email or call us on the phone. If you phone, please check the difference between our timezones, because we might be sleeping when you’re awake.
You can also connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a few other social media sites.
While head office is Utah, most of our news is meant for U.S. readers, just as it was when we lived in Australia.

Prairie Miller is a New York multimedia journalist online, in print and radio, who reviews movies and conducts in-depth interviews. She can also be heard on WBAI/Pacifica National Radio Network's Arts Express.
Ondaatje's slick more than gritty new version, a transplant to the flashy when not murky LA underbelly, commands attention more for suspense than detail or character dissection.
Divided into three sections and going on for far too long at 150 minutes running time, The Pervert's Guide To Cinema impresses with a four star rating for the first third.
More open air lunatic asylum with macho attitude than coherent thriller, the movie is also wallpapered from end to end with an incessant garage rock classic vibe.
A goofy satire about Hollywood production inner circles and the outsiders who infiltrate, The Deal is also a cut above most of those other Hollywood productions about these backroom cons in question.
