Day on Media Earth

Day on Media Earth is an obvious reference to Jim Jarmusch and his strange way of seeing ordinary facts such as cab rides across the Earth.

Day on Media Earth therefore has as an editorial focus a strange way of seeing various media events highlighted by newspapers from France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Europe and elsewhere.

Day on Media Earth intends to be an information-centred, critical blog overcoming national debates – whose articles are therefore written in English and French. It is a way of better understanding the world, through a place which is not France, Italy, Spain or the UK. With the benefit of hindsight, it is a way of putting things into perspective.

Day on Media Earth starts with an article about the Tiananmen Square massacre whose conclusion is an easy parallel with the D-Day commemorations, probably because one year before launching this blog the author was coming back from a trip to China. From the Tiananmen Square, the author took no picture; she has not taken any picture from the D-Day beaches of her childhood eihter; out of respect for the silence and desolation surrounding the memories of all those who died there, whatever happens.

Topics do not come from nowhere; points of view are chosen on purpose, in any press article actually. Neutral articles are an illusion; there are only sometimes, quite regularly actually, fact-oriented articles going back over press releases and newswires.
