Cuaderno Latinoamericano — a blog put out by a group of college students which I happen to be enjoying a lot lately — asks the question: is media coverage of the escalating violence in Brazil increasing because of a much-publicized upcoming concert by a legendary British rock band?
…why is this getting press now? Only because the Stones will be in concert in a couple of days?
Well, yes. Violence in Brazilian favelas is common, but how often to we read about it on CNN.com? The last time I remember was when Cidade de Deus came out.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
