It means grasping the catastrophe of the 1985-90 government of President Alan Garcia and the ensuing political tsunami of Alberto Fujimori and the countershocks of Alejandro Toledo's Peru Posible movment. Academic Research News Covering the news in Peru has not been a spectator sport. Observers tend to be swept into the events. Journalism has been dominated by arrogant owners, improvised reporters and obsessive editors. People in power view the media with suspicion.
Information is rationed like bottled water in hell.
My take on the scene . For tracking Peruvian current events from an international perspective, try Yahoo Full Coverage or Lima Post . For Spanish coverage, I like Adonde's PeruHoy because it shows you the front pages on several Lima dailies. It has briefs about the major stories and then links to the source. My weblog follows the coverage of the English language news media on the Web.
