I am back in California, home sweet home. But I do miss my home-away-from-home in Oaxaca. I won’t be here for long, though. I will be returning to Oaxaca in January to continue my research. But don’t fret, I will maintain this blog while I am here too. I still have ideas for blogs and critiques that have been building up for weeks, just waiting to get out. I will continue to read the local Oaxacan newspapers and report on the current situation. I want to thank those who have helped me get this blog rolling in just a few weeks. The support has been phenomenal for my photos and analyses. I also appreciate your concern for my safety. Many people may not realize this, but there is a wonderful community of researchers, students, activists, and ex-patriots in Oaxaca that are extremely supportive of eachother and are quick to lend advice. I thank them for their help.
Last night I was on a local public access television program called Third World News Review. You can listen to it on the radio through a webcast on KCSB today (Tues) at 7pm. It will also be replayed a few times this week on channel 17 (Wed at 7am and Noon, Thursday at 3pm, and Sunday at 8am and Noon). I spoke about the APPO movement and my ideas on the role of the media in the movement.
You did an excellent job on Third World News Review last night. I’m so proud of the work you are doing.
Your background brings the necessary elements to do intelligent and important reporting. Can not wait for the next post. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I appreciate it!
