The fishes "packed" in the uniquely designed fish tank of a hotel's main hall in Beijing may seem like a grand decoration, but the fishes will only survive for six days! New fishes will replace the "old stock", and the cruel cycle repeats.

A globalização no jornalismo (via, negritos meus):
Here is the US news from Bangalore: They are journalists employed by the world's biggest news agency, Reuters.
Their job is to cover US financial news.
And they are working overnight so that they can report company news live as it happens on the New York Stock Exchange - from India.

No limite, tudo é possível: para quê ter jornalistas de política nacional se a Lusa pode fazer esse trabalho? Para quê jornalistas de economia, de tecnologia (ok, esta é piada...), fotógrafos, gráficos? Tudo pode ser feito de forma mais barata noutros países, fora dos meios que divulgam as notícias. O que se perde? O que se ganha?
O glocal é isso mesmo: fazer globalmente com atenção ao local. Porque haveria o jornalismo de ser diferente dos têxteis ou de uma fábrica de chouriços, que podem ser produzidos num qualquer lugar para serem vendidos noutro?
Só uma rápida reflexão: não é isso que já está a acontecer na maior parte dos nossos meios de comunicação social, encher espaço com coisas de fora sem serem adaptadas aos interesses locais?

Depois deste "Tag, You're It: Scientists Describe Collaborative Tagging Sites like Del.icio.us", Tagging: Just as the internet allows users to create and share their own media, it is also enabling them to organize digital material their own way, rather than relying on pre-existing formats of classifying information.
A December 2006 survey has found that 28% of internet users have tagged or categorized content online such as photos, news stories or blog posts. On a typical day online, 7% of internet users say they tag or categorize online content.

Natalie Baraova também vai ter uma campanha para "habeas corpus"? (negrito meu)
Czech baby must return from Portugal to mother: Sara Baraova, a six-year-old baby, will return from Portugal to her mother on February 13 and she will be entrusted to her care, according to a court decision in Portugal in a lawsuit between her parents today, Marie Vodickova, director of the Fund of Threatened Children (FOD), has told CTK.
In early January, a different court ruled in the opposite way. The baby was removed from her mother and entrusted to the father who lives in Portugal.
"The mother can see her tomorrow, but then, until February 13, she cannot," Vodickova said.
Sara will have to travel to see her father for holidays three times a year, Vodickova said.
"It is certainly a victory as everyone was afraid that no one will see the baby here any more," she added.
Sara's mother Natalie Baraova had been ordered to send her daughter to her father to Portugal. She ought to have returned her two years ago. However, she kept the baby in hiding.
