Neues aus Kiew (2)

In der Telepolis fasst Florian Rötzer die aktuellen Geschehnisse in der Ukraine zusammen, und analysiert die Berichterstattung in den ukrainischen Weblogs.

It seems like most folks who are really interested in what’s going on in the Ukraine are getting their information from blogs instead of from reporters. This is as it should be. The AP probably has a bureau in Kiev, as does Reuters. As the Commissar points out, The New York Times might even have a stringer or two in town. But the stories that these reporters are filing just don’t do it for folks who want to know what’s really going on. Info-junkies want the real story, the story on the ground, not the view from the window of the bureau office in the capital.
