ANDERSON VALLEY ADVERTISER

The '''Anderson Valley Advertiser''' is a small but well-known weekly newspaper published in Anderson Valley, California. It was founded in 1955 as a local, community-based paper. The ''AVA's masthead features mottoes borrowed from the French Revolution and the Industrial Workers of the World:

★ ''Fanning the Flames of Discontent!'' (The IWW's Little Red Songbook is sub-titled "To Fan the Flames of Discontent")

★ ''Peace to the Cottages! War on the Palaces!''

★ ''All Happy - None Rich - None Poor''
Various quotations are distributed through every issue of the paper. Examples include:

★ "Be as radical as reality." - Lenin

★ "Newspapers should have no friends." - Joseph Pulitzer
Contributors include:

★ Alexander Cockburn

★ Jeffrey St. Clair
The newspaper was long identified with Bruce Anderson, who became its publisher in 1984. As of November 2004 the ''Anderson Valley Advertiser'' was sold to a former reporter for the paper. Bruce Anderson now lives in Eugene, Oregon, where he unsuccessfully tried to start a new paper called ''The AVA Oregon''. "I'm out of money, and out of business," Anderson wrote in the February 3, 2005 final issue.
