Latin America Fingers
Hostile Media
The Latin American
Meeting against Media
Terrorism, underway in
this capital, emerges as
an initiative aimed at
defending sovereignty
faced with destabilizing
attempts of largest
media at the service of
imperial interests.
Issues linked to several
trends of the phenomenon
will be included in the
Friday agenda of experts
from 10 countries
attending the meeting.
Venezuelan Communication
and Information Minister
Andres Izarra stated
that large transnational
media plots against
independence,
self-determination and
the peoples integration.
Izarra warned of the
impossibility of
establishing a new world
order, while
communication giants
have a hegemonical
position in the
information war.
"Media terrorism," said
the minister, "is the
weapon of the empire in
the battle of ideas,
hence the importance of
arranging positions to
counteract the attack."
The forum coincides with
sessions of the
Inter-American Press
Society, which brings
together owners of the
most powerful media,
actively supported by
United States. |
