I've just come across an impressive new monthly newsetter, The ME Global Chronicle
There's a great short editorial from Lenny Jason:
It also features reviews of the IOM contract, news from the USA, Ireland, Denmark, UK - and major fundraising appeals underway. Also a short piece from Jen Brea of Canary in a Coalmine fame, who won the ProHealth advocate of the year award.
What I like most about the newsletter is that although it covers a lot of ground, it's well laid out and the articles are pretty short: most are a few hundred words and the longest only just over a thousand. Very ME-friendly reading.

Leonard A. Jason, Ph.D. DePaul University - Chicago, USA
“The future of the field is in connecting the many patient and
scientific groups into one larger body that is united for change.
Any events that bring people together across countries and
organizations should be promoted.
The message is simple, we have more impact with numbers, and when we flex
our collective muscles, then we become a movement like the civil rights,
women’s and disability revolutions of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
The HIV/AIDS groups changed policy throughout the world, but they did it by
keeping their focus on critical issues and demanding change, and although the
voices in that movement were also divided, for a few things like increased
funding and provision of services, they were all together.”
