Social Movements Coverage

McDonald: What issues should be given more coverage?

Carreño said that social movements should be covered more. The social movements such as being on the left (whatever that is) should be covered more.

There are reasons for political leaders like Chavez but it's not being explored in the media.

Sotero said that he's tired of hearing about left or new. "Chavez could be described as an old-fashioned populist with a bunch of money," he said, rather than a leftist.

The New York Times and the L.A. Times will give you the political and social movements of the Latin Americas. He also suggests the Financial Times and the Economist. They can be critical of Brazil but they can be fair, he said.
