  • Michael Anti (aka Jing Zhao) has been blogging from China for 12 years. Despite the control the central government has over the Internet -- "All the servers are in Beijing" -- he says that hundreds of millions of microbloggers are in fact creating the first national public sphere in the country's history, and shifting the balance of power in unexpected ways.
  • Michael Anti (Zhao Jing), a key figure in China's new journalism, explores the growing power of the Chinese internet.

Migration

  • Blinded by the sunlight when he finally emerged, Muhammed found himself in Spain — one of the tens of thousands of African migrants who risk their lives to make the dangerous journey to Europe by boat each year. Others come hidden in the wheel hubs of tractor-trailers transported by ferry. Some even swim part of the way. Scores die en route.

      From the Podcast ... "Some migrants refuse to speak in order to not reveal their identity" ... if it takes more than 60 days to identify a migrant, than a migrant is allowed asylum in Spain.

    Good Morning APHUG - All the best to those taking their PSATs today. I came across this interesting article. Their is a podcast and a short reading that goes along with this. Something to think about ... What are some of the obstacles that migrants face, according to this source? Feel free to comment or use the Diigolet tool to highlight items in the text that answer the question above. (See my examples above)

    Mexican immigrants appear to settle in CA the most. This may due to the situation of CA and Mexico and the amount of job opportunities involving agriculture.
