Chechnya: a banana republic dictatorship

Majnat Abdul has released a ' interview last week, to ' Observatory Caucasus in which he speaks of the case Politkovskaya, the plight of the North Caucasus and how effectively the Western civil society can help.

The journalist was a correspondent in Grozny for years for Novaya Gazeta (the newspaper for which Anna Politkovskaya was writing) and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty. Following repeated and explicit threats, has dropped out of Chechnya in 2004 with the help of a German organization, and since then has lived in Germany, continuing to work as a journalist. Majnat recently told his story in a meeting with PeaceReport .

"From the outset it was clear that the trial for the murder of Anna Politkovskaya" concluded with the full acquittal of the accused, was conceived "as a sham to show the world, and in the first place West, Western politicians and journalists, the Russian authorities would do everything to find the instigator and perpetrator of the murder. "

About defendants acquitted, Majnat states that "it was good that they have condemned, which have not become scapegoats just because you could say to the West" Here we have the guilty. " I am absolutely sure that under the current power of the Russian Federation will never know the names of the principal and performer, will never be called to the bar to respond. At the moment it is not appropriate, it is advantageous for the Russian authorities, to know who is the instigator of the murder, and we will be in power until the current regime, the truth about the murder of Anna Politkovskaya will be kept secret. In twenty, maybe thirty years, we know who ordered it, why and who was a gift to Putin's birthday. But not now

...". When asked about the current situation in Chechnya, Majnat describes "a dictatorship of a banana republic, a dictatorship based on fear and violence, where everything depends on a tyrant. There is no press freedom, there can be no freedom of expression and opinion, any word spoken carelessly can lead to torture, arrest.

And the contribution to make in terms of civil society (as the one at the political level was disappointing)? According Majnat, Western civil society can help in many ways "from the simple interest and desire to learn that goes beyond what is happening under your nose. Not being indifferent is the first step. Even from a practical point of view you can do a lot. Invite young people, students, give them the opportunity to study in Europe, to see how people live, study and work in a democratic society. (...) It 'important that our young people, who live today in an atmosphere of dictatorship, have the opportunity to come here and look closely at the experience of democracy and the life of a democratic society, then return to Chechnya with this baggage. Anyone who has seen even once as we live and work in a democratic country is struck, such as a virus for which he became a healthy carrier, to always keep within them the respect for democratic values, human rights. Then these people with such experience, back in Russia, Chechnya, the Caucasus ... so we expect our students to come here, give them a chance. "

The case "Night Jack"

The stop comes from anonymous blog to London and get in trouble is a cop-bloggers. The creator of the blog" Jack Night ", winner of Orwell prize for months has excited English readers telling of his adventures, mishaps at work, chase sequences and night shifts, describing the suburban English as a poor and degraded reality.

The problems started when a reporter from the Times discovered the true identity of the blogger: This is Richard Horton, of Lancashire police, who attempted to obtain an injunction the court to prevent his name to be released in the press. The British, however, the Supreme Court said no, stating that if a blogger decides to remain anonymous, this does not mean that he has always right and that a newspaper can not reveal their identities.

The need to disclose the identity of the writer responds in this case the right of citizens to know the identity of those who publicly criticize the work of the police. The problem was created mainly by it. The bloggers did not just tell his story but he criticized the actions of the agents, they come to advise those who were under investigation "to complain about the behavior of every police officer and not to show no respect for the justice system and people who work there. "statements rather heavy, especially since they come from a person working in the environment, but that, precisely for that reason probably was aware of incidents that deserved a such comments. In any event, whatever the motivations that have prompted criticism of the British police, the blog is now closed.

Ddl Alfano: a monster that cripples the journalists

On 10 June, a few days ago, the House confidence in the government approved the bill on Alfano to limit interceptions. The result of the vote has sparked an uproar of controversy and criticism, with good reason add. The point of the battle concerns the apparent conflict with the rules of art. 21 of the Constitution provides for freedom of the press. The bill provides for penalties for journalists found guilty of any violation of the prohibitions heavy provided. In practice, the prohibition of disseminating information on any scandal until the end of the process (here in Italy usually does not last long ...), the judicial reporting, resumed after the fascism, no more. Someone bitterly observes that "the scandal of the parties in Sardinia has accelerated the need for Berlusconi's majority to close the game with journalists and judges and remove from the agenda that remains the public debate on the scandals of a head of government that makes us the laughing stock of the united Europe ".

L ' National Association of Magistrates produced a document entitled" the death of justice Criminal in Italy, "because" the rules on wiretapping prevent the police and the judiciary to identify the perpetrators of serious crimes ... This is a proposal that does not introduce the reforms needed to ensure the efficiency of the process, but also inserts new, unnecessary formalism, which will lead to a further extension of time in the process. The resulting unreasonable period of too many trials results in fact the denial of fundamental rights and new forms of private justice ".

Vera Lamonica , confederal secretary Cigl , speaks of a" boon to the mafia and lawlessness. " Lorenzo del Boca, Enzo Iacopino, president and secretary of the National Council of journalists have described the draft law a "monster that cripples the journalists." The Secretary guidizio Fnsi (National Italian Press Federation ), Franco Siddi is that this vote is a very bad news for Italy, for information, for its autonomy violently carved by a wall of prohibition order to prevent publication of news that matter to the civic health. "FNSI, together with the Fieg (Italian Federation of Newspaper Publishers ), has drafted a appeal," duty to inform - right to know " to Parliament, all political forces and the public.

with quotes from experts this could fill a dozen post (quiet, I will not), but I do not think we need to convince us of the fact by competent figures that there is something profoundly wrong with what's going on. Di Pietro said, "are the squares, citizens, civil disobedience." petitions and demonstrations are being organized in many are moving. In particular, the association Article 21, through its website , ask all the political forces and associations to promote, during the debate in the Senate (where he would spend the text passed by the House), a national event dedicated to protection of constitutional values. It would be nice to believe that "the streets and citizens" was still of some, but from my meager experience, I fear that is not true at all.

Optimize your website, without journalists

last lesson we saw how the online journalism is very important technology and not just the content. E 'possible to perform the hancements on the home page to increase access to a site. In this way you will have the results in terms of audience, advertising and management.

The possible interventions we have seen are: optimization of titles, character optimization, outsource codes, "bread crumbs" (the script), optimization of the sources, optimization, or tags of the images and insert links as securities. What changes, for example, to turn a link in a title? The fact that the search engine look like the news. If the photos have their own behalf increases the relevance of the page on a given topic. Outsourcing means not to complicate the code page, which will load faster. It is therefore of little tricks that may be useful to create a site (in our case, a news site) of good quality.

Another issue raised is the difference between meta keywords and meta description: what you see and what you see. The
keyword meta tag is intended to indicate a list of keywords related to the contents of the web page where the tag appears. The choice of words is important because the keywords identified should then be used in the text on the page. Obviously you must not overdo the number of words, but to concentrate on the more "representative". The
meta description tag is intended to provide the search engine a brief description of the contents of the page. The text must then be a brief summary of the topics covered and should emphasize those topics that might interest the reader, as this meta tag is often reported by the search engine queries made by users. The content of this tag should give the user the search engine an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat they find on the page. The description should be simple, effective and discursive. The spectacle of the content is counterproductive, because all the text should be used to communicate information to the reader and not slogans.

In conclusion, those who want to create a good news site can not naively rely solely on the strength of content. These are certainly crucial to keep the player on your page, but first the reader must get to that page. The operator of the website must then pay attention to those techniques that can bring your site to achieve good positions in search results of engines. The main parameters (but not only) on which sites are "promoted" are the text content (if the subject is wanted), and keyword popularity (the number of links). On the web there are several "manual" to help the site manager for its optimization: one such example is " motoricerca , guide the positioning of websites in search engines, "to which I referred to writing this post. Well, we journalists must develop a" thinking computer ".

Information

The network has developed, with time, other information systems: we have "traditional" managed by professional journalists and "alternative" run by amateurs. Then there's this trend, which poses the opposite of the above, and which has been called "the 'information, without journalists "(Pratellesi).

Responsible trials is Google, which launched in the autumn of 2002 the project Google News, a news site that categorizes articles from the media distributed worldwide. As with any online newspaper, the pages are updated several times a day, with the significant difference that there will be no human intervention. To do all the work we think the machine: the technique is based on algorithms that process some 4,500 news sites every 15 minutes, to extract information based on some quantitative and qualitative criteria.

Marissa Mayer, director of Google News, explains what these criteria: - the number of articles on a particular story appeared on internt - the credibility of the source - the current topic.

Using these criteria, the ranking officer among the event top stories and places it in the category. So this is a classification based entirely on mathematical formulas, and was presented by the directors of Google as an opportunity for total objectivity: there is no policy or editorial that may affect the ranking done by machines. On this then we would object. Pratellesi about notes that "the first choice is always within a corpus that can not be as objective and independent as you would have us believe."

A person who chooses to see only Google News would certainly have to keep abreast partial information, as are the exception, for example, the entry of minorities and that part of humanity has no access to technology.

Google News is not the only experiment of Robo-Report: We NewsBlaster fact, invented by a group of researchers at Columbia University in New York. The computer uses artificial intelligence techniques to browse the news online, choose and synthesize them. Interpret the importance of the facts by taking into account such factors as the place where the news is, many times repeated in different articles and the significance of the accounts. A similar program was developed at the University of Michigan and is called NewsInEssence .

We infer that the machines and artificial intelligence to retire before we have started our career in journalism? According to Pavlik (the executive director of the Center for New Media at the School of Journalism at Columbia University) we should not worry about "artificial intelligence tools such as NewsBlaster NewsInEssence and have a useful place in the information age to save time search for information online and to help check the accuracy of its information, but should always be used with a bit of healthy skepticism. Also because these programs will never be able to generate original news report or chronicles. This is still the exclusive territory of the humans. "

short, for the moment we are still in a novel by Asimov ...

The video- cv: new form of presentation of self

last lesson, we mentioned a phenomenon that we in Italy still little known and widespread: the video curriculum . More or less all of you, like me, you've already been having to draw up a paper in there and you been faced with the difficulty of condensing into a list of data and ability to your profile. On the web there are many documents dealing with the importance of the curriculum, as a "calling card" of the candidate, when there are even tips on how to set it and cut to give the impression to convey the "right". However, the paper is limited and is always something out.

This rock can perhaps be overcome with the video curriculum, which has already made its way in the process of recruiting, at least in the United States. Last year they covered the topic on Corriere della Sera and Il Sole 24 Ore in two interviews with Massimo Rosa, professional headhunters . In essence, one of the headhunters in which large companies are turning to a more targeted recruitment and refined.

Asked if the curriculum is video shot on farms in Italy, Rose responds: "Television for years educating ourselves and our children with the rule that it is better that appear to be. The companies and their recruiters have therefore begun to view the video-cv. In the U.S., this method of presentation is revolutionizing market research and jobs. According to some surveys, 65% of them feel that the video application would shortly become an integral part of the selection process. "

benefits compared to old-style curriculum, have the immediacy, the freedom of expression and the ability to reach their destination faster. In his

site, Massimo Rosa stands and bears three examples of video-cv:
- basic
- with added
video graphics - creative.

The important thing is that it is not amateurish, hastily packed, in short, like homemade dumplings. Rosa himself proposes a kind of manual (pdf format) to create a "video-cv winning" and also the site pnbox.tv , in the section , public advice on how to structure the movies, through examples of those who have already tried.

I think it would at least unusual for all of us get there, in front of a camera, and try ...

Neelie Kroes: potential plug alongside Berlusconi

What makes us Berlusconi's face on campaign posters, in these days, their walls walls of Amsterdam? What is the relationship between our Prime Minister and the Board of Directors, the party of opposition to the deployment at the European Parliament who now holds the majority (of the Liberal VVD )?

To understand, it seems necessary to step back and return to the thorny question of the frequency distributions of Italian television. As some of you will recall, the European Commission opened an infringement procedure against Italy. The current EU Commissioner for Competition, Neelie Kroes , was the promoter of the 20 questions put to the Italian government for an explanation about the lack of transfer of Rete 4 on satellite and the changes to the scheme television. The

Kroes considered "incomplete" answers Executive and, in fact, the infringement proceedings are not interrupted. The inspector has also been entrusted with the task of giving or not the go-ahead to land on Sky digital. The removal of

Kroes, "the elephantine potential thorn in the side of Silvio Berlusconi and Mediaset Premium ", from his supervisory role in the projects of the Competition Board is currently under advantage in winning a place in 'Euro MPs. This explains the sudden passion for the Dutch policy of Berlusconi and his fate ...

Information online: redundant and formulaic

Variety supply information on websites is far from being as abundant as one might imagine. And, worse still, this offer is massively "redundant" and "stereotypical" news websites disseminate same news at the same time, with extreme concentration of production on a small number of topics that dominate the scene completely. This is the conclusion I came to study " Internet, diversity and redundancy of information " presented at Athens, May 6 to 9 (available on the site Nikos Smyrnaions in pdf format).

An account of the research is posted on the blog of Narvic, Novovision . "The big interest of this study, "says the blogger" is to be one of the first to conduct scientific analysis on the statistical nature of the content of news coverage on the popular Web-speaking (but certainly contains elements of generalization). It has the merit of analyzing a wide range of sites and not to focus only on the sites of the press generated by traditional media and the "pure players" of journalists, but to broaden the field of web portals, aggregators, the webzine and blog.

In search of the long tail of information. "Going in search of what the" long tail theory "could possibly apply to information on current Internet, researchers have been forced to soften its conclusion. The study is based on news published in November 2008 and focuses particularly on days 6 and 10 November by making semi-automated statistical analysis of several thousand items generated from dozens of sources. Researchers have established a procedure to automatically aggregate into "topics" articles on the same event with the observation of recurrences language in texts. They then observed the distribution of the report the number of articles / variety of topics, providing a sort of index of pluralism of news online. They have done a step further by analyzing the treatment of the same subject in different articles that confront him, to provide a sort of index of originality. "

The realm of" news agency in bursts. "The result is without appeal: the information network is massively" redundant "and" stereotypical " . Stated differently, the information sites dealing with the same arguments, same time and in the same way, and the variety of these topics is extremely low. "Narvic him as" the kingdom of the news agency to burst. "" The distribution of results broadly responds to the principle of "law of Paretto": 80% of the articles focus on 20% of the subjects, 80% of the other topics are treated from 20% of the articles other, often by a single item (ie only one source). The recurring use of language in the actual formulation of several articles on the same subject shows that this is actually the same cast of press agencies, almost entirely copied.

Exceptions to this practice sites: Agoravox, web journalism citizen; Bakchich, political webzine, The Post, another site of participatory journalism and blogs.

"On balance, the extreme concentration of manufacturing information on a small number of subjects ultra dominant is not compensated by an extreme variety of topics covered in the long tail. In fact, the tail is too short and not enough dense than the model expected. The redundancy information dominates.

"The researchers put forward several explanations of methodology and background. The sample of sources considered perhaps underestimates the production of webzines and blogs, which publish less and not daily. At bottom, the ephemeral nature of current non-expiring soon would find the effects of the fund, which are for music or literature. "

journalism flights on the Internet. " More profoundly, the researchers advance another explanation: the economic conditions of production of information on these sites.
"Recent research on the conditions of production in online newsrooms shows a strong tendency to high productivity. The online journalism tends to favor the rewriting and re-publishing existing content at the expense of service (reportage) original. One element of our study confirms that this trend is that the sources of our sample are more redundant portals without any team of journalists, free newspapers with small newsrooms and radio and television stations that have a limited production of textual content. We can deduce that the special conditions of production in these information sites online have a greater impact on the diversity of its content.

"Stated differently, it is quite logical but it is hardly reassuring: the diversity of information given is proportional to the number of journalists employed. Other than that, and the researchers acknowledge that further studies to determine this, what remains is determining the relationship between the diversity of provision and the reality of the use of Internet information. "

" The data that you have not in the field, quite encouraging: the audience of the portal sites "without journalists," the pure "news agency Burst" largely dominates that of the media sites that offer information and journalists have more original and diverse. Must conclude that the quality, online, does not pay? Or, rather, that the request for information major Internet users are concentrated on the type of information proposed by these "news agency in bursts? Why just them this information? Why are wary of other forms of information produced by journalists? It would be really bad news for journalism ...".

I translated this post from the blog Novovision (and I apologize if there is any imperfection here and there) because, although the analysis is for the French-speaking web, it seems the feature of redundancy of information belongs also to the Italian media sites. What do you think?

The Only Constant Is Change Volcom

The quality of governance is not a private matter

Also this morning, like any other in recent weeks, at least one of the Opening of the first three news online national newspapers about our famous prime minister. The news today is that the Times criticized and attacked him in his editorial . I mean ... The Times, not Pincopallino ... I find it rather worrying. But Berlusconi responded with the usual refrain, "are all false insufflate (I learned a new word) from the left." Sure, why rather than be a minimum of self-criticism and think for a moment the consequences of his behavior is much better than the blame on those bad guys of the left, who hate him so much and want to defame him.

Berlusconi invokes the law to protect his privacy, but it should go and read the code of ethics privacy, delivered by the Order of the Office of the Supervisor reporters July 29, 1998. Us, that we had him to investigate, we know that the privacy of public figures can only be breached if the news have a significant role in their social or their public life. This principle is explicit in the two main functions of the press in a democracy: to spread news that help to shape public opinion and to monitor and criticize the various authorities and private institutions. The point is this: If Mr. Berlusconi was no one could even arrange bacchanalia in his house with the guarantee that a journalist would not have permission to document the fact and make it known. But since Berlusconi is nothing less than the prime minister ... The Times this out well in the summary: the quality of governance is not a private matter.

The editorial begins: "The worst aspect of the conduct of Mr Berlusconi is not the fact that it is a jingoistic fool. And even that is accompanied with women younger than 50 years, abusing his position to provide jobs as models, personal assistants as well, it sounds absurd, candidates for Parliament. What is most shocking is the utter contempt with which it is the Italians. " Later you write that Berlusconi's private life is obviously private but then he recalls the example of President Clinton. "Many people may also say that Italy is not America: that the standards of the Puritan ethic in the United States has never dominated the Italian public life, and few Italians were shocked by womanising (a womanizer). This is not sense. The Italians understand well, as Americans, what is and what is not acceptable. "

course I understand! Now the walls have also understood that the conduct deprived of the dignity of the prime minister is outrageous and inappropriate for his office. And he is doing something for our country, in the eyes of the world, a great figure .......
