"... The modern economy is run, or runs the state or the direct economic powers ..." (Don Arturo Jauretche) In 1969 Rodolfo Walsh prefaces the book by Ricardo Masetti "Those who mourn and those who fight" (1958). himself was nothing more and nothing less than the memories of the Argentine guerrilla journalist and rising, those memories of his interviews in Sierra Maestra to Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.
Reading the prologue in question (which is reproduced a small part of the picture below), it is impossible not to think that decades go by, but more concentrated economic power have not changed, and logically, not its opposition to any possibility information that is not from their letters monopoly.
situations are far from similar, albeit similar, but is that "Imaginary Revolution" of Assisi speaks to our day something created in our payment information monopolies, something that also led to the formation of Prensa Latina beyond and early 60's.
In short, to paraphrase the last sentence of the quote from Walsh and the title of this post, that of Don Arturo, the thing is summed up in the ideology that first about who is responsible for directing the destiny of the economy , information, investment ... A country. Perhaps, that, some call him Imaginary Revolution ...
[... The deformation by the international press Cuban news had begun long before the fall of Batista [...] United Press and Associated Press, agencies monopolize the global news market, launched this cataract of junk information that lasts until today, paving the way for string of attacks that would culminate in the Bay of Pigs. To counteract this possible the incessant and relentless attack, was born Prensa Latina.
The company might seem utopian. The information monopolies reacted against competition like all monopolies. The media war waged against America invoked the pretext that it was an official agency. PL was, of course, as official as United Press, Reuters and Agence France Presse: in the world not an agency that serves the interests of a national state monopoly or a group closely linked to that state ( emphasis added). The difference is that the dominant countries of the Western world that luxury prohibit the dependent countries. The attempts in Argentina and Brazil during the governments of Peron and Quadros collapsed before the onslaught of U.S. agencies that counted as allies major trade journals in both countries, for whom the state is a crime journalism when it comes to national state, and not when the power is hidden behind abroad (this is also underlined own).
