Who the Hell is IPS anyway?
Oct 19, 2008 Uncategorized
I stumbled across a news organization called Inter Press Service News agency. They talk about representing the downtrodden, etc. in a mission statement that says… “IPS raises the voices of the South [???? Southern Hemisphere? South Africa?] and civil society [???]… IPS tells the story underneath.”
OK, maybe so. But why in the world would ANY valid news organization in the modern world have the following disclaimer at the bottom of an article?
“/NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, CZECH REPUBLIC, IRELAND, POLAND, THE UNITED STATES, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM/ (END/2008) ”
I check you out in more detail. Maybe I’m missing something.
