[…] tampoco aceptamos el chantaje vomitivo que nos sitúa en este abismo en el que nos han hecho creer que solo estamos a salvo de la mano de las industrias capitalistas o de instituciones, gobernadas demasiado a menudo anti-democráticamente, demasiado a menudo por déspotas ilustrados, que nos dicen como debemos ser, como debemos actuar, como debemos imaginar y comunicarnos. Son ellos los que han construido este abismo irreal que nos ha convertido en meros productores y consumidores de esta Cultura normalizadora y autoritaria. Un abismo en el que quieren hacernos creer que el conocimiento no da de comer si no genera plusvalía, si no produce un capital sujeto a la acumulación y a la especulación, ya sea en términos económicos como en términos Políticos […]
Los fanzines […] están ahí siempre para recordarnos que “si se puede”, que hay otros relatos más allá de lo autoritario y lo hegemónico, que hay otras economías y que el comer o no comer no tienen nada que ver con producir o no conocimiento, con compartirlo libremente .

The Remarkable Decline in the Wall Street Journal’s Long-Form Journalism - The Atlantic
Alexis C. Madrigal looks at how the Wall Street Journal’s print edition has drastically cut the number of longer stories it has published in recent years.
I do not have any particular expertise in the inner workings of the Wall Street Journal newsroom, but this chart speaks for itself. It shows the number of stories the Journal published that were over 2,500 words from 2002 to 2011.Dean Starkman of Columbia Journalism Review created the chart and referenced it again today. (He used to work at the publication.)
The Journal is not alone in this trend at the big papers, as CJR has also shown, but its numbers are the most startling.

April 14 2013. 4-6 killed. Tribesmen reported as many of six drones circling the area during the afternoon “spreading panic among the residents”. One drone fired two missiles around sunset, hitting a house. The bodies were too burned to be identified. #drone #drones #pakistan
