"M. Sarkozy évoque la création d'un conseil du numérique français" - Le Monde
The President is announcing a new council to deal with electronic/digital media issues.
"Italy - Court Upholds Convictions of Americans in Kidnapping Case" - NYTimes.com
I wonder how this is being covered around the Mediterranean.
"Italy’s Crisis of Confidence" - NYTimes.com
It's too bad that it requires a good deal of extra effort to read what the Italian papers are saying about all of this.

"Berlusconi Faces Public Discontent Over Italy’s Trash Crisis" - NYTimes.com
One of the programs that we need to launch at the Mediterranean Media Center is on trash! Quite seriously. Marseille is buried in the stuff and will spend a half million euros just to clean itself up. Naples seems perpetually to be swimming in it and we need to look at this issue from a Mediterranean perspective, and look for creative ways in which the media can play a more informative and constructive role in reporing about these issues and bringing information and perspectives to an interested public.

This site purports to carry only accurate information about this case, and it is surely one of the sources worth checking from time to time if one is interested in how the case in Italy is evolving.

France - "Un journaliste dit avoir été giflé lors d'une visite de Sarkozy" - LExpress.fr
If a reporter or anyone else wants to take a picture of a President in a public place, that ought not require permission and, if asked, should never ever be refused in a democratic state. I love France, but this is way over the line.

Looking back over the past 5-6 years of award winners at this event, I find that there are only two from France and one frm Spain within that group. In addition, the link to the program for this year's event appears to be broken.

Mediterranean region news coverage in rest of world
I just posted a link to an interesting and pertinent story from Italy, filed for National Public Radio in the US. What I realized as I did was how oftern we hear there and read and see/hear elsewhere from those countries around the Mediterranean where there is a permanent correspondent and how rarely we hear from or about the others. Does nothing as interesting ever happen there? Not a chance, and the Italian story is a perfect example in that similarly concerning legislative initiatives pop up on occasion in all of the other two dozen Mediterranean countries. Why shouldn't they all be addressed or at least put in some sort of context that involves neighbors and regions?
Languages - "Books of The Times - In ‘Globish,’ Robert McCrum Traces the Spread of English" - NYTimes.com
How to apply this and other information to what is happening or might happen to languages in the Mediterranean, including English?

From the story:
"....and journalists also walked off the job, suspending television and radio news broadcasts.
Some media — including state television and the Ta Nea newspaper Web site — later broke the strike to report on the deaths."

"Villefranche-sur-Mer près de Nice : M comme Méditerranée au Café des Sciences"
I attended this fascinating presentation.
Among other things, the speaker predicted that in hundreds of thousands of years, the Mediterranean will close at Girbraltar, the western part from Tunisia/Italy west will become a giant salt lake and eventually salt flats. The eastern part will be a separate lake with mountains arising on the northern coast of Libya and Egypt.

I think there is a core human desire to be on the inside, to be a member of something that seems to offer value for "membership", whether paid or free and on top of that - to be "invited" is, well, brilliant!

Greece - "La Grèce paralysée par une journée de mobilisation" - LeMonde.fr
It seemed to me that this was inevitable and I was surprised that none of the coverage of the austerity measures seemed to include this at the high probability level that it merited in my view. I fear that this will get worse before it is resolved in part because it is hard to imagine the exit road from the situation in which Greece finds itself. Austerity measures cannot solve most of the problems and become tiny band-aids on very serious illnesses.

Egypt - "The Blog of Samia Serageldin :: Taxis and Television: the unwitting interview"
I think the real moral here is that you shouldn't say anything to anyone that you aren't prepared to share on a municipal billboard. It's not such a bad idea, actually.
It's a little naive to expect confidentiality in a mode of public transportation anywhere.
Unless this broke local taxi rules - if this happened in the US, you'd be equally out of luck.
Here's - apparently - a link to the program but perhaps not the latest episode.
