More on the Media Pact

Boz has a thoughtful list of pros and cons. It depends a lot on how it plays out in practice, and this agreement could turn out to be quite ill-advised if it turns the whole of the media into a government mouthpiece. But on balance, I think the potential for and likelihood of good coming out of this is more substantial than the potential for problems. And I concur that it's healthy that Proceso and some others --but Proceso in particular-- didn't sign on.
