Television debates and campaign ads are old school in Chile where four presidential candidates are using blogs as a medium to respond to questions from citizens. The independent Digital Country Foundation, a Chilean agency committed to educational and technological innovation, is running the blog, fielding questions from Chilean mothers, children and other citizens on issues ranging from education to AIDS prevention.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a similar blog here in the U.S. not just for presidential elections but for local elections as well? I mean if Latin America can do it why can’t we?

la Mala’s picks:
- Tortillas Duras:
La Cherry confronts what leaving New England means. I love this mujer’s prose. It reads like poesia.
- Xispas:
Patrisia Rodriguez links day of the dead and marigolds with current events in the name of the ancestors. This article moved me.
- The Daily Gotham :
They have excellent coverage on the NYC election coming up (even if they love Freddy Ferrer a little too much for my taste).
- Margaret Cho’s Blog:
She is one of the funniest mujeres out there but there ain’t nothing funny about encountering racism. I could relate to this post.
- Crafty Chica:
Dia de los Muertos may be over but this mujer has amazing and beautiful craft ideas.

Blogs are playing an ever growing role in Latino life in the United States. They have become a popular means for the exchange and expression of ideas and information. MediaNoche, a gallery and community cultural space in el Barrio aka Spanish Harlem, NYC explores how photoblogs are changing the photographic landscape and opening up new possibilities for visual communication and exchange in the exhibit BLOGS , that opens tonight. Judith Escalona, Director of MediaNoche says via the release for the exhibition that:
BLOGS represents a rupture in the way photographs are traditionally exhibited and sold, allowing the presentation of over 1,000 works in MediaNoche’s space and converting viewers into bloggers who can interact with the printless photographs on display
Bloggers and those that love them should go and represent and experience the work of over 200 photographers worldwide, from Puerto Rico to Taiwan.
Tonight is the opening reception from 6 pm – 9 pm. There is a special talk by the artists on Saturday October 22 at 3PM. The exhibit can also be viewed on Tuesdays through Saturdays through November 26, between the hours of 3PM and 7PM.
