Emilio Marín In
Arena biannual Assembly held in April in San Diego, Calif., put your magnifying glass SIP business on Argentina. It was the only tested with a default bochazo, Venezuela, Cuba and Ecuador were also postponed by the court.
Argentina took much of that meeting and the final document. Until then newspaper executives had traveled partner for Fernando Saguier, "La Nación", to feed the fire antikirchnerista. Not long before the graphics were blocked for hours a gateway to the printing plant of Clarin, delaying its departure by a labor dispute. And that, you know, is a crime against humanity to these newspapers who were allies of the dictatorship military and civic award received as newsprint. In San Diego
Cristina Fernandez sat in the dock and sentenced in these terms: "Argentina deserves special mention. A set of violations of freedom of expression is struck against media and journalists. In addition to the campaigns smear and the media continues to favor "friendly" state with advertising, there were locks on the free distribution of newspapers featuring pro-government sectors, in violation of court orders with childish arguments of the executive branch, follow street to journalists, illegal wiretapping of conversations telephone service by State intelligence and official trade union leadership calls for a boycott of the press. "
Argentina seemed the Third Reich. The press freedom was seriously threatened in Argentina. And this warranted an urgent inspection of the president of the IAPA, Gonzalo Marroquín, former director of Prensa Libre of Guatemala, and current president of News Corporation, SA, the Morning Day and Twenty-First Century. The punitive mission accompany most of the staff of the Commission on Freedom of the Press: the owner, Robert Rivard, San Antonio Express-News, Texas, and Claudio Paolillo, the weekly Búsqueda, Montevideo.
In previous days, "The Nation" and all the team's media Clarín, its radio and cable, amplified the arrival of the SIP. Magnetto sent Hector Herrera Marcela Noble (so far is named) and Saturnino Mitjans to Santiago de Chile, to share with Marroquín an act and dinner with Sebastian Pinera, who signed the Commitment of Chapultepec (Mexico, 1994). Despite the good intentions of this generic statement, Mexico's, according to its own SIP-which is more dangerous to play the craft of journalism. From Santiago, Chile
the delegation flew and landed at Ezeiza. On May 4, was received by the Secretary of Public Communications, John M. Abal Medina. There
freedom
The Vestal of press freedom came with a booklet written by the leaders of the two Argentine newspapers. Bartolo Mitre is secretary of the Directive which leads Marroquín and complete as 1st. Vice President Milton Coleman of The Washington Post, Washington, 2nd. Vice President Jaime Mantilla, Diario Hoy, Quito, and Treasurer Elizabeth Ballantine, The Durango Herald, Colorado. Saguier a member of the Commission Chapultepec, the feted by Piñera.
With these players, the "team" is the media side of the OAS, only that is based in Miami instead of Washington.
with those owners and line pro-American newspaper, more anti-Argentina resolution San Diego April, the delegation plan was sung. Came to question the government, media law, the attempt to declare the role of newspapers as the public interest. And I came to defend the owner of Clarin in its business shenanigans and his refusal to do the DNA of her two adopted children so irregularly, etc.
But "Hurricane SIP" became a gentle breeze on the Plate. Is that from day one collided with political boundaries and reality. Was denied an interview with the president of the Nation. The quotes had to Abal Medina and his team, which received Marroquín y Cia. with a document and two appendices which detailed how much the government and citizens have made for freedom of expression. The first letter
strong secretary of Public Communications media law was based on the momentum of social organizations, cultural and many democratic journalists. Its aim is to decentralize the ownership of the media monopoly (read that Cablevision does not have 80 percent of the cable in Capital).
The second, the decriminalization of libel and slander contained in public interest cases, crimes that were charged to journalists with a desire for political persecution and fines.
Third, the bill sent to Congress for the production and marketing of newsprint is an input of public interest. This puts into question the hitherto Newsprint captive business.
Abal Medina appealed to common sense to snub the script prejudicial to its visitors. Enough said read daily newspapers or watching TV a few minutes to realize that here there is greater press freedom, even to slander the government without paying any consequences. Indeed
pay a heavy consequence to the public, which has raised political awareness. Have more idea what business and political interests defend Clarinet, Livestock Gazette, All Negative, False News, From the plain and the summit of power, a single voice to Ernestina, etc. Is that the discussion of media law was not in vain. They are incorrigible
The craft of journalism requires an open mind to information, the objective facts and reality. On that basis then it is inevitable that every reporter and every means to prepare their positions.
The SIP has demonstrated that it lacks the minimum level for journalists. For some owners of print media are related to neoliberalism and oligarchic positions and pro-American. The Washington Post, The Miami Herald and other publications in USA, that is obvious, but also for Clarín, La Nación and La Nueva Provincia, Mercury, Chile, El Comercio de Lima and Montevideo Search (director of this Danilo Arbilla was president of the SIP in 2000, regardless of who had been Director of Press of the dictatorship in Uruguay, where he closed 14 media in final form).
In the press conference, as a farewell to Buenos Aires, Marroquin and his companions repeated his script memorized.
"This mission ends with a deep concern for the government's strategy to find, in terms of press freedom there is a continued deterioration," said the boss of the SIP at the headquarters of the Supreme bugles Argentine Press Association (Adepa).
The only data for such an appraisal is that the pattern of benefit to specific advertising media, but that was not contested by the public communications secretary, who informed them that this pattern meant only 4 or 5 percent of advertising in the country.
capitostes For the SIP implementation of media law will be "dreadful" because it would be "the creation of legislation that seeks to dismantle the independent media to create an official communication device." Not ashamed to defend the ill-gotten Newsprint, torture means, and reviled "intervention, which could lead to nationalization or state ownership, distribution of paper."
Marroquin came to justify the worst business Ernestina Herrera: blocking DNA analysis of Marcela and Felipe. "These are family matters," he said.
With these preliminary definitions can bet your final report will be lapidary for Argentina. Made no difference at all in travelers democratic meeting with journalists like Victor Hugo Morales and the newsprint they made in the reports to questions from reporters on Channel 7, Duro de Domar and 678. Neither attended the eight reasons for the statement that they were delivered with the signatures of many journalists. The first point argued: "that the enactment of the Law on Audiovisual Communication Services is a huge step for our democracy." How many Argentines
be convinced the SIP? A very few. Instead there are many who saw his move to lighter Clarin and La Nacion, and better distinguish between press freedom and free enterprise.
