Global Voices Online

Global Voices offers one of the few current ways to follow the action in Pakistan: bloggers.

…My heart’s in Accra » Bloggers find ways to speak out in Pakistan
“Neha Viswanathan and Global Voices are tracking Pakistani blogs closely on a special page to cover the emergency. As the environment in Pakistan becomes more oppressive, it’s hard to know whether these bloggers will be able to keep posting.”(tags: blogs blogging censorship government security Pakistan free+speech freedom world problems politics tidbits+fodder)
Digital Media Leader Named Knight Center Director, Kauffman Professor at ASU

The latest circulation numbers, compounding previous bad news — It means that the industry is finally starting to feel enough pain that it has to take drastic action.” (tags: newspapers news+biz media+evolution circulation statistics problems change tidbits+fodder)
