The service was originally started by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), a Canadian national pro-life organization headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Campaign Life Coalition, founded in 1978, was one of the first pro-life organizations to emphasize the international dimension of attacks on life and family. Along with a few other groups it pioneered pro-life lobbying at United Nations conferences. CLC president, Jim Hughes, is currently also vice-president of the International Right to Life Federation.
CLC's international dimension spurred the development of LifeSiteNews as an international news service. LifeSiteNews.com U.S. and Canada are now separate incorporated non-profit organizations, are not involved in direct political action and do not support or oppose political candidates or parties. LifeSiteNews is strictly a news and information service.
The 1997 founding staff of LifeSiteNews are current Managing Director Steve Jalsevac and News Editor John-Henry Westen. LifeSiteNews management and staff writers/researchers are located in various cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy and Chile.
US citizens have become our largest readership. Canadians are next, followed by smaller numbers of readers in many of the nations of the world. LifeSiteNews.com networks regularly with leaders and other organizations around the world.
Formerly the Pro-Life Infonet, LifeNews.com has been harnessing the power of the Internet since 1992 to bring pro-life news to the pro-life community. We've developed a reputation for fairness, accuracy and timeliness in our fifteen years of service.
As the founder and Editor of LifeNews.com, Steven Ertelt has provided the pro-life community with news via the Internet since 1993. He also serves on the board of Colorado Citizens for Life, the statewide pro-life group. A former radio announcer who has been interviewed on dozens of radio and television programs, Mr. Ertelt holds a bachelor's degree in Politics from Hendrix College.
Alright, I get great news from both, but I kept thinking they were the same thing. Now I have my head on strait and my Badger nose on the right trail.

Thanks - I posed the same question before sending a donation to LifeNews today, to help them cover legal fees incurred by Girl Scouts of America action against them. If the accusations weren't true, the latter should have politely corrected their information, not resort to threats of legal action.
I always donate to LifeSiteNews, too - love their work.
