This week, Latin Pulse
shines a light on the situation for the media in Latin America and threats to
free speech. The program looks at how indigenous groups in Guatemala are
disenfranchised when it comes to running public media outlets. Also, the
program includes a discussion about current state threats to free media and how
media outlets are often now seen as replacing opposition parties in some parts
of the region. The news segment of the program covers the speech of Brazil's
President Dilma Rousseff at the United Nations and how she condemned the United
States for its espionage programs.
The program includes interviews with:
John Dinges of Columbia University; and
Mark Camp of Cultural Survival.
Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell and
Associate Producer: Megan Ekhaml.
