 | I have been working on an article about the crisis in the US media. The
article has just been published in Telepolis. I compare the role of
netizens and the professional media in the US and in Korea during the
recent elections.
Here is the url for the article. I welcome comments and further thoughts
on this issue as it is an important one for netizens in the US, and also
for netizens around the world to understand how to deal with.
"The Crisis in the US Media and the 2004 Election"
by Ronda Hauben
"Without a press that can function independently of government the
public is left disarmed"
A critical question raised by the 2004 election in the US is the role
played by the media.

The article was written before the recent inauguration which was
but another example of the problem. There was very little press coverage
of the protest and the protest events, giving a one sided view of what is
happening in the US not only to the public in the US, but also to the
public worldwide.
with best wishes
