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.

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?
