Queridos todos
Con todo respeto, pienso que el email de Amalia era mas bien un llamado
para comenzar a organizar paneles, foros o exhibiciones sobre medios y
comunicacion indigena para NMV el proximo año. Existen decenas de
libros ahi afuera sobre el tema de los medios y la comunicacion
indigena, y ciertamente Donald Browne y Lorna Roth son importantes
autores entre muchos otros que han contribuido en este campo, tanto en
teoria como en la practica. Asumo que no toda la red estara interesada
en discutir abiertamente el  tema a traves de la lista, por lo que creo
que esta no es la mejor instancia para promover libros, sino que para
empezar a planear que se puede-deber hacer para el proximo año y
quienes quieren participàr en la organizacion. Y quizas mas importante,
de que manera podemos integrar mas eficazmente a lideres y
comunicadores indigenas en la red NM.

Dear all
With all your respect, I thought Amalia´s email was a call to begin
organizing panels-forum or screenings  on indigenous
media-communications for OMV next year. There are dozens of books out
there on indigenous media, and certainly Donald Browne and Lorna Roth
are among many who have contributed significantly to the field in
theory and practice. I assume not all the network is interested in
discussing this issue through the list, so I don´t think this is the
best instance for promoting books, but one to plan what can-should we
be doing next year, and who wants to work on it... Most importantly,
how can we integrate more efficiently into OM the participation of
indigenous leaders and communicators.

regards - saludos

Juan Salazar
