CARACAS, Venezuela -- Set to music befitting an action movie, the promotional ad for broadcaster Globovision recounts some of the events that have shaken this country since President Hugo Chavez came to power six years ago: a failed coup, soldiers firing on demonstrators, a strike that crippled the country and a recall vote that divided it.

In 1965, U.S. Army Sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins deserted his post in South Korea and fled to the communist North—a move he now calls "the stupidest thing I have ever done." He spent nearly 40 years inside the Hermit Kingdom, as a lingering mystery of the Cold War. In July, Pyongyang finally let Jenkins leave. He turned himself in to the U.S. Army in Japan and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

New York – Michael Moore, the acclaimed filmmaker and #1 best-selling author whose latest movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, is the highest-grossing documentary of all time, has reached an agreement with Simon & Schuster to publish a collection of letters written to Mr. Moore by American G.I.s in Iraq. Titled WILL THEY EVER TRUST US AGAIN? Soldiers, Veterans and their Families Write to Michael Moore, the

A mi que me perdonen pero esto es la típica “habladuría-de-mierda” cuando se habla de ética. Nosotros en El Nuevo Herald/Miami Herald tenemos el mismo tipo de programas, y yo he participado al menos en uno en Republica Dominicana, y nunca hice de la distribución de la ayuda el centro de la noticia. No tiene nada que ver un tema con el otro. Cuando el desastre arrecia hay que tener la

Este es el dilema interesante que se le planeó a un editor. (Ver el texto siguiente) He meditado sobre el asunto y no estoy tan seguro de sus argumentos. Creo que tiene un punto valido cuando habla de la estructura de la noticia en si. Sin embargo, sigo más inclinado en tener en cuenta los derechos – o sentimientos – de los familiares. Después de todo, el suicidio del joven no tuvo consecuencias

SÉRGIO BARRETO MOTTA RIO DE JANEIRO - Em 1993, a principal revista semanal brasileira, Veja, publicou uma reportagem que desmoralizou o então presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Ibsen Pinheiro. Com o título de «Até tu, Ibsen», a reportagem acusava o deputado de haver movimentado, ilicitamente, um milhão de dólares no exterior. À época, o nome de Ibsen era citado como possível candidato à

O marido vai à guerra sem consultar com a nação e os jornalistas é que são divisionistas. Por que é que a senhora não volta prá biblioteca no Texas? Fazia-nos a todos um grande favor.

Prewar Articles Questioning Threat Often Didn't Make Front Page By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Days before the Iraq war began, veteran Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus put together a story questioning whether the Bush administration had proof that Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction. But he ran into resistance from the paper's editors, and his piece ran only after

The Washington Post reports that Reuters is cutting costs by firing 20 editorial staffers in America and Europe and replacing them with 60 new hires in India. This is just an early stage of newsroom outsourcing. Copy editors especially pay attention: digital copy can move across the globe as quickly as across the newsroom. So what if we play with the numbers a little? Reuters did not announce

Larry King to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein: "Does this press go light on its president?" [Link] Woodward: "I think certainly in the last year that is not the case. That, in fact, anything the White House does gets questioned and scrutinized, and it should. But you know, there's this -- we are by nature, particularly with the advent of CNN and cable television, everyone's impatient. Tell us

O projeto que cria o Conselho Federal dos Jornalistas é da Federação Nacional dos Jornalistas. Tornou-se anátema na medida que ganhou o selo do governo. É um erro do governo meter a mão nesta cumbuca, numa hora destas. Mas a discussão sobre as práticas da imprensa é saudável e está ganhando pernas. Em Portugal, neste momento, um jornalista enfrenta processo ético e ação judicial porque gravou

BRASÍLIA. O presidente do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), ministro Edson Vidigal, defendeu a liberdade de imprensa e lembrou que ela está resguardada pela Constituição. Vidigal disse que não conhecia o projeto do Conselho Federal de Jornalismo e que falava em tese, mas ressaltou que tentativas de cercear a liberdade de imprensa nem deveriam ser discutidas. — Qualquer tentativa neste sentido

BRASÍLIA. O vice-presidente da Federação Nacional dos Jornalistas (Fenaj), Fred Ghedini, e o secretário-geral, Aloísio Lopes, defenderam a proposta de criação do Conselho Federal de Jornalismo (CFJ) e acusaram a mídia de massacrar a entidade.

CNN has insisted that staff covering the Olympic Games in Athens undergo extensive courses in hostile-environment training before leaving the news organisation's headquarters in Atlanta. Chris Cramer, CNN International's British-born managing director, believes that such precautions are necessary and will become increasingly common as journalism of all disciplines becomes more dangerous.

dmittedly, the Valerie Plame affair is not the typical case involving a reporter's right to protect a source. Such cases are often about constraining the government from identifying and punishing a whistle-blower; this one involves an allegation of an illegal leak by a Bush administration official to punish a whistle-blower. But no one should be fooled by the unusual circumstances here - the
