Dublin Mayday - Freelance Article on Press Propaganda (unpublished)

Mark Paul, a freelance journo in Ireland, pitched an article about the media bias in the run up to the EU Mayday in Dublin. In the end it wasn't run, so he published it on Irish Indymedia:

Mayday: Rise and fall of anti-capitalist movement (The Scotsman)

Interesting / off plot article from The Scotsman on the demise of the autonomous big London Mayday demo reflecting the demise of the anti-capitalist movement - ahem. Since of course the london mayday demos were the high point of the movement :-) well anyway, their analysis of numbers demonstrating post 911 is simply not true, they fail to mention the big mobilisations just last year in 2003, like 100,000 people marching and blockading in Geneva against the G8, the 2-300,000 who gathered for the Lezarc "the world is not for sale" festival in France, and the other hundreds of thousands who protested at the EU summit Thessaloniki, the WTO summit in Cancun, the FTAA protests in Miami... or for that matter the 120,000+ who met to discuss alternatives at the World Social Forum in Mumbai, and the 100,000 or so at the Paris European Social Forum... and so on and so on. It seems newspapers keep running the same story each year, but the reality on the ground speaks against this. The rest of the article is interesting, but I'd also say some way off the mark.

Oh yeah, and OF COURSE they don't mention EU Mayday in Dublin. Read more >>

Evening Standard "Police wear down May Day anarchists"

The Evening Standard ran same story about MayDay as BBC, with a little more detail, managing to get the usual anti-wombles angle in "The Wombles - who dress in protective gear before trying to attack police", and failing utterly, like the BBC, to mention the MayDay NoBorders Dublin weekend of events, running from Friday April 30th to Monday May 3rd, and coinciding with the EU Enlargement Summit and welcome celebrations...

Pre-EU Mayday Press Propaganda! Oh YES! - Associated Newspapers in Ireland

"ARMY ON STANDBY FOR RIOT" - Who could forget that screaming hysterical pre-Mayday 2000 Evening Standard headline, and all the other classics we've seen! Well after several years of hysterical (state-led) press propaganda here, the Irish press now gets a crack at the same dynamite cache of cliches... (and the tricky covert art of infiltrating open meetings!>>>)

But seriously, this is an important topic, and it's high time more corporate journalists spoke out against this kind of so called journalism. Read more >>
