Journalism: the objectivity of the writer Pedro Paramo

These days I found myself talking with a friend who is moving closer to journalism objectivity of the journalist.
I am reminded of a paradox that my chemistry teacher told in high school: when studying the atom, and you insert a tool to observe its structure is obvious that only know the situation that is created after the upheaval caused by our survey instrument and why her "normal state". That is how you look when you're not.
The fact exists apart from a journalist. But the journalist is often our tool for learning a fact. Because the journalist reports the facts. He looks from one point of view, hers, and I tell it. So
objectivity does not mean to be neutral to the fact, which is in itself impossible, as it is impossible to know the state of the atom when we observe it.
Objectivity is to recognize the partiality of their views. It is unlikely that a journalist has no opinions about a fact, but the objective journalist separates fact from himself. First the back story of the event, then their opinions. That is why it is good to "attack piece" with the elements of fact and just put the comments in the queue.
The next time I write a rule that I follow to "attack piece". I'd like to know what you think about what is written.

I'm reading Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo. Particular book. They say he inspired the style of "Gabo" (Gabriel Gracia Marquez), perhaps it is true. The book carries to get lost in a fleeting world. of shadows, whispers .. Where it is not clear immediately whether things have a physical substance. if people have a body of flesh or are just spirits. A world that said it could disorient, but reading the book you get lost in the happy story that is told in fragments, but over time only gives confidence to the writer and his skilled hands we entrust with pleasure.

Mp3 free!? Microsoft

Let's talk about Creative Commons (CC). In 2001 Laurence Lessig, law professor at Stanford (USA), CC based movement that serves the same name license to distribute original works, whether books, pictures, music and anything else that could be subject to copyright.

The basic idea is that between the concept of copyright to work full and free of copyright, there is a gray area rather broad. To represent this area has been created the license in question. The article you are reading is protected via CC, which allows anyone to read the copy, paste and use it elsewhere provided that you keep my name as author. At the same time the article can not be used for commercial purposes. Above all, the article may be changed if the new version is distributed under the same license terms of the original.

short DC is a tool to ensure a free online space from both hateful and outdated copyright protection without sacrificing work of genius.

These lines do I need to better explain the activity of GarageBand.com

This is a company that deals with scopriree, promote and distribute the music of lesser-known groups and subjected to direct public opinion. In practice, they want to be known musicians bring their music available to users of the site giving the possibility to download, share, listen to it in public, but not to sell it or change it.

short, a platform to freely download and listen to good music. There is everything and all kinds. Obviously this is not 100% of masterpieces, but there are some really interesting tracks.

As I write I'm listening to Dave Manley Band of Sing Sing a song of pure jazz.

Whooshing Sound Before Stroke

attacks?

After a brief absence - the computer that he wanted to rest and has seen fit to hang back on-line to comment on a fresh news that fits what perfect ring of a chain of reflections that I am working on for some time.

" Campania full of pirate merchants. Microsoft says it has conducted a series of checks. According to him the highest rates of illegal activities are in stores Avellino. "

some time now, Microsoft sends his "Mystery stopper" around the computer stores in Italy. These agents of the company's Redmond retailers who ask for quotes for the purchase of a PC by taking information about the software to be installed.

Apparently Bill Gates has got his hands in his hair when he learned that a dealer in Campania on two of abusing his programs, installing pirated copies.

I believe that the information is optimistic because it took place only in the capital city.

just go in any store near Naples to see that in 90% of the budget of a PC does not install Windows or Office, which are loaded with illegal copies, and then at no cost.

now all have become accustomed. But this obviously does not do the right thing or emulate.

But I do comes from a consideration.

Suppose Mr. Rossi needs a PC for themselves and their children. Internet, word processor, a spreadsheet to keep their accounts under control, etc..

Enter a store to buy a PC and displayed in the preventive Microsoft Windows XP Home OEM to 90 euro plus 155 euro for Microsoft MS Office Standard 2003 in the Italian version of "Education" (in practice the for Students and Professor of Microsoft Office 2003 Standard exclusively reserved to students, teachers and families with older students. The license allows the use and installation of software at home and / or school but not in work environments). Almost € 255

software. Our

Rossi will start a sort of pilgrimage among the various shops in your area to see who sells it to him without it. There are two possible frameworks: the market is like today and then find who's installing a pirated copy of both the software at no cost and buy them the Pc.

The market is what Microsoft craves: All shops selling genuine software.

Mr. Rossi wherever he goes will offer those fateful 255.

And here might take another scenario.

The consumer wants the best possible product at the lowest price possible, and faced with an outlay of 255 euro solicit alternative solutions. If I were the seller is asked which of these alternatives suggest what software to write, have a spreadsheet, presentations, create web pages OpenOffice.

The price? €

Zero. You open source software for the average user does everything that can make the Microsoft Word or Excel.

Which operating system would suggest the distribution of Mandrake Linux. Cost? Zero €. Among

€ 255 of the Microsoft solution and the cost of freeware solution, choose what Mr. Rossi? But this should

to Microsoft?

Wooshing Sound, Stroke

A world of news online and first-hand

From time to reflect on one of the central concepts of the hacker ethic: computer access for all. Only in this way the Internet can pose as a sort of "new world" in which each connecting reflects his life. I am not referring to those who create the web a sort of alternative to the real identity, but who uses the mother of all networks to expand the possibilities of the digital life can give. Be on line. Billions of links that cross. Nodes where information come together, collide, change, but most are available to all.
The idea is that anyone who has information to share the post. Allowing, thus, to compare it with that of others who attended the event, so that will have hundreds of sources. It is then the reader know "rebuild" the news based on their direct sources of wealth and not just because the newspapers have decided to switch or not.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to achieving this is the lack of computer literacy that exists in our beautiful country. The lack of familiarity with HTML, blogs, wikis can be scary.
For those who want to begin a journey into a "web publishing" Free platforms I would recommend a little book interesting Web Publishing with Blogs and Wiki Alberto Mari published by Apogee and sold just over € 7. Make an interesting overview of the blogosphere and the world of wiki.

Return from Eurochocolate

Saturday, December 4, 2004 opening of Eurochocolate in Naples. The news
tickled me a lot because the festival has always been under the spotlight of the press and TV in his edition of Perugia. So with 10 € in hand - the cost of two entrances - I submitted to the Oltremare Fair, home of the event.
So many people and many sellers of the best known brands, but after a couple of hours speed I left with a sense of dissatisfaction. The 'cultural content' of the event were left a little to themselves. Let me explain. The proposals that are there, until December 12, are varied and this is already a great achievement. You can read a detailed schedule here: .
But in the pit of tasting events are going a little lost.
only paying attention you realize that you are passing next to reproductions of Alinari photo archive on the topic of chocolate, for example. The feeling I had was that of a cultural content that has to be discreet background to an event to promote "trade chocolate." Nothing wrong with that. But it was not what I was expecting. It may be that the programs of other days are able to combine different events and create an interesting visit.
I hit a lot of the posters on the production of chocolate, concentrated almost entirely below the 20th parallel (Africa, South America) for a consumer is instead all European and American. Production for the rich countries, which enriches the country of production.

Front Wheel Drive Dune Buggy



It begins with the weekend leading up to Christmas.
This morning I had to prepare for a photo shoot on a crib of chocolate, a pastry chef in the city (Tower of the Greek) was built for Christmas. Strap on the reflex camera, and digital delivery. Traffic permitting I should be on time.
But traffic does not allow. Arrival at the center with about ten minutes late and not even a parking space. I know. You're thinking, but that illusion! By Saturday morning, wants to find a place downtown. But I always try to be optimistic.
Meanwhile, the colleague who was waiting for me - half an hour - to interview the baker calls me. He feared them still asleep.
tells me that the room where the crib is set up is closed. Here click on the first suspicion will not be an easy Saturday morning. Meanwhile, at the outskirts of the find a place to park the car. Textbook maneuver Torres: first you need to stop because of the post here in the city park for the arrow has no meaning. I do. Then move to enter the place in reverse.
If something should go wrong it will, says Murphy's Law.
The genius that was in my car behind me came up a few inches from the bumper and I can not do the maneuver. Murphy will also be right, but the place is mine.
daring maneuver to a few millimeters from the plate of the Wreck of the genius who followed me, and so on, walk to the crib. Who now pretend to be beautiful.
omit the race. I leave aside the confusion between the names of all priests with whom I speak
to understand 1) why the exhibition hall - the church - is closed
2) because the author of the crib is not
Will I be late? The appointment was at 10.30 I arrived at 10.45.
The colleague who was there tells me that the door is closed for a while 'before 10. There
to decide what to do: take the tone of the "great journalist offended" - do not apply to me - and call the baker, I choose the latter.
Cellular discharge in hand I go to the nearest public telephone calling card with my colleague. But on board there are only 20 euro cents. We do not even pay the fee.
Found a tobacconist, reloading the phone and call. The artisan with the angelic voice tells me that it had to go back to the laboratory to repair a piece and forgot to warn me.
Moral of the story: Saturday morning lost. Photo not made.
settle for a picture of a crib of bread that is preparing the same craftsman. Posted by Hello
