I’ve just published a foreign policy-related post at Outside the Beltway:
“Covering the Coverage of the Diplomatic Leaks”
The major news outlets that received document drops of leaked diplomatic communiques from Wikileaks are covering the story in different and interesting ways. Unfortunately for English Speakers, the coverage in the New York Times and The Guardian is worse than that in the foreign language press. The NYT’s coverage in particular is securely rooted in a gatekeeper and dead tree mode.
Spiegel’s coverage is visually the most appealing; Le Monde seems to be the most factual; to my eye El Pais is the most informative.
