Seriously, I hope it’s not too late to post this. BUT, today at 4 pm Noam Chomsky will be talking at the Sala Nezahualcóyotl as part of Mexican newspaper La Jornada‘s 25th anniversary. If you think you cannot make it, you can listen to the lecture online on Radio UNAM, or on TV through Skype, and Cablevision.
La Jornada is one of the most important newspapers in Mexico. Even though some consider it as extremely supportive of Mexican left Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), over the years the newspaper has certainly done a great coverage of important events in Mexico, such as the aftermath of the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, the outburst of the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN), the Acteal massacre, and other issues that other newspapers don’t cover in depth.
The celebration of La Jornada‘s first quarter with Chomsky is an important statement made by the newspaper. It means that it’s against the war, against certain practices of capitalism, and of course, a profound disagreement with U.S. foreign policy. No doubt this lecture is going to be fascinating.
