Charla con Pablo Canziani

Les dejo un link donde pueden bajarla, por el momento no puedo subirla a podcast porque es muy extensa (¡una hora y 33 minutos!); anduve intentando pero se cuelga y aún debo buscar una manera más práctica de hacerlo.

Sobre Rings:
Rings is dedicated to the full range of topics surrounding the summer Games in Beijing, from the competition itself to the social, political and economic issues attached to them. Rings brings together analysis and perspectives from sports, foreign and business reporters at The New York Times and in its bureaus around the world.

"We expect the Rings blog, which draws on The Times's talent and resources across all departments, to become a must read for those interested in all aspects of the Beijing Games," said Sandy Keenan, deputy sports editor, The New York Times. "The blog will serve as an engaging platform for continuous sports and news coverage during the Games."

The Games in Beijing are already generating worldwide attention, and Times journalists have begun to post about issues such as the controversy surrounding the torch relay, the intricacies of the Olympic trials in the United States and discussions of Web censorship by China's government

¿Ya es tarde para la promesa del biocombustible?

Promise of Biofuel clouded by Weather Risks, en The New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/business/01weather.html?partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all


Dentro de la sección Business, el artículo tiene un enfoque particular:

Unexpected interruptions in oil supplies have been a factor driving oil prices above $140 a barrel lately. Given the tight oil market, there is little untapped capacity that can be brought online to make up for sudden supply interruptions, whether of oil itself or of the biofuels that are increasingly substituting for oil.

The Huffington Post

The Huffington Post -often referred to on the Internet as HuffPo or HuffPost is an online liberal news website and aggregated weblog founded by Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer, featuring hyperlinks to various news sources and columnists. Its roster of bloggers includes many people from Arianna Huffington's extensive network of prominent "friends."


Dicho de otra manera, es un gran blog con empleados-bloggers, una comunidad que se transformó en un sitio rentable. Da una visión más informal y desacartonada de las noticias, y creo que es útil para, incluso, seguir el tema elecciones en USA. Suelen linkear a grandes diarios y basarse en blogs de sus creadores y colaboradores.
