Venezuela's Corruption Exposed

Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

BBC Global Blogging Event - 18th March 2010

14 years ago By Alek Boyd

The BBC is organising a blogging event here in London, 18 March, that seems an extraordinary initiative: bloggers from around the world will be able to live blog, tweet, buzz -insert preferred method here-, conversations about issues affecting them, in their own language! This will in turn be posted/broadcast across BBC platforms, such as BBC World TV, World service radio, BBC Blogworld, and BBC World Have Your Say. I am honoured to have been invited to this event, that has been referred to as a "social experiment", and can only hope that our opinions will be heard far and wide. The event will take place in Shoreditch Town Hall, on the 18th of March, from 1300 - 1900 UK time.

In the words of BBC's Karnie Sharp: "Just to say I came out of a meeting just now, and the editor in charge spoke about the conversations being brought down to ONE conversation at the end of the day. Our central site will link to all conversations, BUT the one most gathering interest across the world would probably be the final conversation the "world" will have or lean towards."

An online show of democracy at work folks!!
