Re: <nettime> are there anymore porto alegre reports? |
Hi Geert, during the meeting in Porto Alegre, I've being trying to find English speaking papers covering the news. I could not find any. Not the IHT, not NYTimes, not LATimes, not the British papers. CNN have been showing the folkloristic side of it. Finally i was told Financial Times it has being the only English speaking newspaper regularly covering the Forum. And it is amazing considering Le Monde, Liberation, the Italian papers, and I guess most of the Europeans press, had the news in the front page almost every day. (I read those papers on line) Here actually the only trace I could find in the Independent (UK) about Porto Alegre, but the topic of the article is about something else and Porto Alegre is only mentioned. http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=118021 I know ( i guess) nettimers are aware the press did not cover the Forum, and, frankly, I would like to know which newspapers they read and in which way nettimers keep themselves up to date with news that English speaking press volontary try to hide. dg # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
