The world cannot get to the truth of what is going on through Israeli public relation tours. The proper journalistic response is to believe nothing either side says in this matter and to do the onsite investigation independently.

We can never have too many sources of information about important news nor too many different perspectives. It's a shame that more people don't appreciate this......

"Israel Puts Media Clamp on Gaza" - NYTimes.com

In this context, sadly, I can assume only the worst if I cannot see it for myself. If Israel has nothing to hide, it should let us all see. It's a very simple proposition.

There are wonderful stories to be told by the media of the Mediterranean about housing and renovations, both for the people of each country, and for others, all around the basin.

"Nice Premium - 5 janvier 2009 : la fin de la publicité sur France Télévisions"

"Corez wine bar will uncork Mediterranean atmosphere" - The Grand Rapids Press

Why should the Mediterranean media leave it to other media to cover cruises and cruise planning on the Mediterranean Sea? I believe they can take back this role and rightfully so......

"ABCNews.com Takes a Look at the Best and the Worst New Year's Diet Searches" - abc13.com

The section here dealing with the Mediterranean diet contains astonishing numbers on obesity in the US compared with France and Italy. The media of the Mediterranean ought to be telling more of this story themselves!

"Fit to eat" - Columbian.com

Mediterranean media would be well-served if they worked harder for local and distance audiences to recapture their own Mediterranean cuisine instead of allowing everyone else to steal it without compensation or even calories!
