About Global Voices Censored

THE PURPOSE OF GLOBAL VOICES CENSORED (GVC) IS TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE TO GLOBAL VOICES ONLINE (GVO) BECAUSE OF ITS RELIANCE ON REACTIONARY BLOGGERS AND PROMOTION OF RIGHT-WING DISCOURSE. MANY YOUNG PEOPLE READ GVO AS A NEWS SOURCE AND ARE LOOKING FOR IN-DEPTH BACKGROUND ON ISSUES — GVO IS NOT UP TO THE JOB. WHILE SOME SECTIONS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, GVO’s LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN SECTION IS PARTICULARLY DISAPPOINTING AND, AS SUCH, THIS BLOG WILL PLACE SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THIS AREA.

I AND OTHERS WILL CONTRIBUTE NEWS AND ANALYSIS TO THIS BLOG AND WE WILL REFER YOU TO OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION AS WELL.
