Transparency International Croatia reacted today to the draft-Law on Financing of Political Parties that entered parliamentary procedure earlier this week.

La campagna "La mia spesa per la Pace", coerentemente con il suo intento di contribuire a costruire la Pace con scelte di consumo critico nella spesa quotidiana, invita a non fare acquisti per 24 ore sabato 25 novembre 2006. La Giornata del non acquisto (Buy Nothing day) è una giornata dedicata a tutto tranne che alle compere per rendere concreto il dissenso verso il consumismo e smascherare le bugie di chi usa ogni mezzo per convincerci che l’unica via per uscire dalla crisi è tenere alti i consumi. Questa Giornata è una iniziativa mondiale, lanciata nel 1992 da Adbuster in Canada, per ricordarci che non siamo nati per comprare, è una occasione per riflettere sui nostri consumi e sulle loro implicazioni. Anche la Campagna Bilanci di Giustizia invita tutti i suoi aderenti e amici a vivere in prima persona questa Giornata, con la propria famiglia e con i propri amici.

Vaikka uskontoa usein käytetään epäluulojen ja kiihkon lietsomiseen, pohjimmiltaan kysymys on poliittinen. Israelin ja arabivaltioiden konflikti on muodostunut lännen ja muslimimaailman vastakkainasettelun symboliksi. Sen ohella lännen sotilasoperaatiot Irakissa ja Afganistanissa ovat lisänneet epäluottamusta ja vihamielisyyttä, todetaan korkean tason työryhmän Annanille luovuttamassaan raportissa.

Come la pubblicità occulta uccide l’informazione
Story linkdi Giuseppe Altamore Bruno Mondadori, 2006, pagg. 208, € 12,50 I confini tra pubblicità e informazione si fanno ogni giorno più opachi: un inquinamento silenzioso e sotterraneo invade i media minando il tradizionale rapporto fra il giornalista, la testata e il lettore. Lo strapotere economico della pubblicità è ormai la vera minaccia alla libertà di stampa: società concessionarie e uffici marketing dettano con sempre maggiore frequenza l’agenda dei contenuti da pubblicare. Le forme di ingerenza sono moltissime e il limite etico sembra ormai oltrepassato. Ma è ancora possibile aprire una breccia nella fortezza del potere mediatico fornendo ai lettori gli strumenti per smascherare il gioco. E' ciò che si propone il volume.
