review

The companion website to a book about biases and other shortcomings in Japan's news industry, which in many ways serves as a good reference for trends in news media elsewhere.

Yes, they want to sell you on the idea of chartering a fishing expedition off of Panama's Azuero Peninsula. But they do it so well!

Of course The Savior was dark skinned! And this October 21, as on that day for many years for centuries now, a lot of people of all colors and nationalities will make their way to Portobelo to pay homage to El Nazareno.

A website about a half-dozen anti-war protesters who were arrested for re-enacting Abu Ghraib torture scenes while George W. Bush's motorcade passed them by. It appears that they broke no specific laws, but of course these days it's commonplace for innocent people to be jailed for political reasons in the United States. At least these guys were not held incommunicado without bail or access to lawyers, as many of the people whom the Bush administration has imprisoned have been.

This is the result of a serious survey commissioned by the Pew Charitbable Trusts, and among other things puts the increased readership of The Panama News in context, even if they don't mention us.
