Participants
will analyze corporate media and revolutionary alternatives to them
in the region
Bolivia
has begun hosting a two-day seminar to discuss the future of
alternative media and attacks by corporate conglomerates against
socialist governments in Latin America.
The
debate will begin by analyzing media attacks against Venezuela's
Bolivarian Revolution, former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and
Bolivian President Evo Morales.
Scholars
and journalists from the region will also participate, including
Argentine political scientist Atilio Boron and Bolivian lawyer and
journalist Hugo Moldiz.
It
will also include presentations by teleSUR director Patricia Villegas
and CubaDebate director Randy Alonso.
"Our
objective is to contribute to rethinking the communication issue from
our progressive processes, aware of its importance for the
construction of a leftist, popular and revolutionary political
project," the organizers said in a statement.
The
meeting is organized by the Network of Intellectuals and Artists in
Defense of Humanity and local social organizations, such as as
Generacion Evo, Azules del Oriente and Columna Sur.
The
seminar, the second of its kind in Bolivia, will be held for two
days. The first session will be held in the capital city of La Paz
and the second in the city of Santa Cruz.
Last
year, Santa Cruz held a similar event called "Latin America in
Dispute: Challenges for the Left."
The
panelists will also refer to the role of alternative media, public
broadcasters and community radios in the region.
