Media Re:public

Catching up on my Global Voices reading, got to this disturbing reminder of the international stories that go quickly back to being local after the crisis fades. A blogger called Buddhist Warrior

publishes a statement from the All Burma Monks’ Alliance and the 88 Generation Students under the unambiguous title “The United Nations is a Failure“. Naturally this plea to the UN Secretary General was picked up by mainstream media everywhere, (if everywhere is India, Thailand and Norway, and Burmese-focussed media is mainstream).
