Tot Mallorca està d'enhorabona! Gràcies a www.periodistadigital.com
però també gràcies a Diari de Balears i Última Hora, el tema de la
piscina de Pedro J. Ramírez ha arribat a les pàgines de The New
York Times. Ben mirat, una de les coses pitjors que li podia passar
en la vida a Pedro J. Ramírez avui, 23-F (aniversari de l'intent de
cop d'estat) li acaba de succeir. Com ja sap molta gent, el vanitós i
estufat sense plomes, Pedro J. Ramírez, s'ha autoproclamat un
milió de vegades hereu del periodisme d'investigació del
Washington Post que l'any 1972 va destapar l'escàndol conegut com
Watergate i va forçar la dimissió del president dels USA, Richard
Nixon. El que no es podia imaginar mai Pedro J. Ramírez el primer
dia que va trepitjar Mallorca i va decidir comprar la casa de Costa
dels Pins, és que l'escàndol de la seva piscina il.legal el duria pel
camí de l'amargura i acabaria estampat amb lletres de motle
damunt les planes del diari The New York Times. Idò, què se
pensava, aquest foraster torrepipes! Més se'n mereix! Vius i ungles!
Que prenguin llum de na Pintora tots els pedrojotes que pasturen
per dins Mallorca: qui gosa ofendre i abusar de l'hospitalitat del
poble mallorquí, més aviat prest que tard, ho acaba lamentant! Amb
Mallorca, no s'hi juga!
P.S: Matías Vallés, meiam si n'aprens d'una puta vegada!

Destaca que es "una nueva especie" que no tiene miedo a los
poderosos ni debe nada a nadieThe New York Times afirma que
Periodista Digital es pionero en el nuevo periodismo europeo
PD23/02/05, 16.34 horas
El sacrosanto New York Times, la biblia de la prensa liberal mundial,
se ha hecho eco del nuevo fenómeno. En un amplio reportaje, que
ocupa casi una página de su sección Business Media, el diario
neoyorquino describe con minucioso detalle la eclosión de la prensa
digital en Europa, con especial atención al caso español.
"Periodista Digital es uno de los diarios digitales más leídos en
España, con 115.000 socios registrados", escribe Doreen Carvajal en
el NYT. "En un día cualquiera, 4.000 personas se conectan durante
el desayuno para leer los titulares sobre los gastos en publicidad del
Gobierno socialista, o el último capítulo en la historia de un
importante director de un diario que ha extendido su piscina hacia el
mar desatando una polémica sobre la legalidad de la ampliación".
Con tanta exactitud como minuciosidad, el reportaje describe la
complicada peripecia de la prensa digital en Europa y las maniobras,
en el caso español, de parte de la prensa tradicional para cerrar el
paso o cercenar sus fuentes de financiación.
The New York Times / Business MediaEurope Teems With Web
Dailies That Twit the Mainstream Press
By DOREEN CARVAJALInternational Herald Tribune Published:
February 21, 2005
PARIS - The brothers David and Alfonso Rojo are pioneer publishers
who monitor the heartbeat of their Spanish digital "newspaper of
newspapers" with periodic glances toward tiny numbers on a
computer screen in Madrid.
Mornings are the most satisfying for David Rojo, who labels his
competitors the "traditional and rotten press." His Web portal,
Periodista Digital, is one of the most widely read digital dailies in
Spain, with 115,000 registered subscribers.
On a typical day, 4,000 people log on over breakfast to headlines
about the Socialist government's spending on publicity, or the latest
chapter in the story of a prominent Spanish newspaper editor whose
expanded seaside pool has provoked a debate about its legality.
"We have no fear of powerful people - we have no shame," said
David Rojo, who started Periodista Digital with a few other journalists
and who works out of new offices in Madrid. "We don't have to keep
loyalty to anyone."
The Web is a sprawling space that has spawned new breeds of
digital press gadflies like the Rojos and an assortment of self-
appointed cybermonitors of the conventional news media in Europe.
Across the world, their sharp comments can provoke an array of
reactions: amusement, insults, public outrage, blunt legal threats.
Yet these Web sites and Web logs, or blogs, are scoured by policy
makers and the political elite.
"It's a phenomenon that has grown very much," said Mónica
Ridruejo, a former member of the European Parliament who runs her
own media consulting firm, Dragonaria, in Madrid. "People like to
see the scoops there, and everyone talks about them at lunchtime."
Advertisers are also taking notice, with distinct regional differences.
For example, big banks and telecommunication companies post
strategic banners on popular Spanish digital press sites, known as
confidenciales, for their mix of spicy insider gossip about business,
politics and the media. But conventional advertisers steer clear in
Italy, where a popular tabloid-style site, Dagospia, feasts on
pornographic advertising.
So popular are press gadfly sites that when the international German
broadcaster Deutsche Welle organized its first awards for best
international blogs in December, journalism, media and technology
were the dominant themes of more than 1,000 of the Web logs that
were judged. Judges awarded prizes to media blogs in seven
languages, like Media Noise (Medienrauschen) in Germany and
Ponto Media in Portugal, which is so mainstream in some ways that
it is now published in Publico, a popular Lisbon daily.
Konstanin Klein, a Deutsche Welle editor in Berlin who was on the
judging panel, said he had favorites but wondered whether the sites
were fads that would quickly fade.
"Many of these bloggers claim that blogging is grassroots
journalism, while of course the establishment media has a problem
with that," Mr. Klein said. "There's more to journalism than just
writing things up, such as doing the research and fact-checking,
which is not always popular among bloggers"
But fact-checking is what draws more than 300,000 readers a month
to Bildblog, a media monitor that was created in the summer of
2004 and dissects the tabloid reports of Bild, Germany's leading
daily, which has a paid circulation of more than 3.8 million.
Four journalists with conventional day jobs scan Bild in their off hours
to interpret and analyze the tabloid.
Bildblog recently did some shallow digging after Bild promoted its
exclusive interview with an aging former American soldier, Herbert
Lee Stivers, who says he believes that he may have passed poison
to the convicted German war criminal Hermann Goering, who
committed suicide at Nuremberg with cyanide. As Bildblog quickly
noticed, The Los Angeles Times had reported the news a week
earlier.
The site, created in June 2004, draws about 10,000 visitors a day,
with many readers sending tips to an e-mail address, said Christoph
Schultheis, a freelance journalist and the only founding member of
Bildblog who was willing to talk publicly.
"We started doing it because in the daily newspaper business we
read Bild anyway," Mr. Schultheis said. "We always found small
things we can't put in other newspapers because we can't do it every
day. So we decided to create a place to collect them."
Many of Bildblog's readers appear to be Bild employees, Mr.
Schultheis said. Bild's management is philosophical about the
situation.
"Bildblog is hardly above the threshold of our attention," said Tobias
Fröhlich, a spokesman for Bild's parent company, Axel Springer. "We
can't help liking it. It is full of silly assertions, pure nonsense and
refreshingly biased stories. Moreover, Bildblog boasts the
importance of Bild by calling us the undisputed opinion leader and
agenda setter in Germany. What more can one ask for?"
The view is darker in Spain, where some senior media executives
have attacked the confidenciales that have sprouted alongside
Periodista Digital.
Periodista Digital, which contains a mixture of original news and
stories compiled from other news outlets, used to e-mail bulletins
with links to many of the major confidenciales. But after Alfonso Rojo
became editor in chief recently, the links were eliminated. Mr. Rojo,
a former war correspondent for El Mundo, said that with a planned
expansion, Periodista Digital no longer wanted "to be in the same
boat with them."
The confidenciales are a twist on a form of Spanish communication
that dates to the last years of Franco's rule and the transition to
democracy in the 1980's, said Mara Sánchez González, who is
preparing a doctoral thesis on the phenomenon.
The confidential bulletins usually offered information about politics
or business to an "exclusive number of paid subscribers that paid a
high price for access to information that wasn't available in other
types of media," she said. But Web sites give the confidenciales
more power and influence because they can be distributed free and
quickly to a broader group of people.
El Confidencial, one of about a dozen such sites, has explored the
finances of Jesus Polanco, the chairman of Grupo Prisa, which owns
El País, the Madrid daily. El Confidencial also has referred to
investments made by the media group's chief executive, Juan Luis
Cebrian, a former editor of El País.
Mr. Cebrian has been openly disdainful of confidenciales, criticizing
their reliance on anonymous rumors and demanding new measures
to encourage the digital press to be as "respectable, trustworthy,
credible and rigorous as the print press." El Mundo, another Madrid
daily, then followed with an editorial, calling some confidenciales a
form of trash, "cyberbasura."
After those attacks, the digital publications questioned Mr. Cebrian's
motives, arguing that he feared competition, but some conceded
that there was room for improvement on ethics.
