Reporter's Notebook: Yasmin Khan

Dissolving (La Paz, Bolivia)

Posted by Yasmin Khan - August 21, 2004 at 1:32 pm
La Paz is quickly morphing into Chicago. In Spanish. The cold nights, the rain, the smoky bars, upscale restaurants and the majority of the people ignoring the abject poverty around them is like any big city. But La Paz, and Bolivia in general, has a rippling undercurrent of true radicalism rare in American cities. A media center here in La Paz, an idea pitched by a few narco kids, would be ideal. It would be easily intergreated into society because La Paz has an infinite number of willing contributors. It would be devoured and absorbed by the youth looking for an outlet for their political causes and an inlet of true information. It could be the center of South American indy media.

Centro de Medios Paceños

Interesting you should say that, Yasmin. I know of at least three Narconusistas who are thinking of moving to La Paz right now.

And I know of at least two narconusistas in La Paz who would be thrilled if the media center moved out of their houses and into a more officially public space!

who is interested in a media center in LP? I would like to know so we can think together...There are a lot of options, and I think it is viable in the next 1-2 years. Yasmin
