A Tuesday

Tuesday's class was relatively uneventful. We met with a representative from IFJ, the International Federation of Journalists, who painted a bleak future for journalism. Surprise surprise.

We came home after class ended and crashed. I did a whole lot of nothing, took a nap, and then called everyone at Lobby Days: How It Ends to see how the Rally/Lobbying went on Day 2.



Apparently everything went really well and the rally was awesome (as of course it would be, after all the interns' hard work). The usual permit problems persisted, but they were just as easily remedied--free public parks are wonderful!


I wish I could have been there to share the experience, but I am quite glad to be in Europe walking around the London offices or my Brussels apartment living as much of the IC life as I can from a distance.

  1. In france like in europe i suppose and like in USA (if I well understood)there is some economical problem with the news paper more particulary. The reason should be "internet"


    But journalism is certainly an interessting job. I have a friend who is cameraman for the french televion. His works seem really interessting. I remeber that I have seen a report about my area i was inpressive by his work.

    In fact the movie about your country is back in DVD.
    I talk about this movie jsut before the election of obama. "j irais dormir à hollywood.
    You are a globe trotter, than I will try to share with you this movie. A road trip in your country interessting for me. Your opinion should be interessting to me
