Introducing: World Today
Introducing: World Today
I'm proud to announce my very own Fabrica project, called World Today, for which we are looking for independent Editors from around the world for collaboration:
Editors Wanted
Through the technical and financial development of our society, the world has become smaller than ever. Dominating cultures stretch their influences through the global medias and communication tools. In some cases this adds value to a local culture, but in many cases it waters cultural diversity down.
The aim of this project is to cultivate these local varieties and to publish an honest reflection of our world today, accessable to everybody, also to those with low education levels. We want to give a voice to people outside of the mainstream and to deliver reliable and direct information about local cultures.
Therefore we are looking for English speaking Editors from around the world, with a strong connection to their cultural roots and a fine understanding in how to approach local people from different social classes and races.
If you are interested, please contact Christian Etter through e-mail christian.etter(at)fabrica.it to receive more information.

Yeh, it is. Having to build up a global network of Editors, you have unfortunately to communicate in one single language with each other. All these Editors will then publish their content in their own local language and we will do everything to make this content available for people without reading skills or access to modern technology.
It's like to use the good sides of the globalization to fight the bad parts. Sounds maybe naive, but I think we need some positive nativity in this world of today.

Chris
I would like to know more about this project. I've also written to you asking some more information (relative to this and a doubt that maybe you can help me figure out). Thanks again.
