| 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.

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.
