The magazine Faktoria of the Basque Country Irratia let us know what concerns American businessman Warren Buffett has in his head: “Twenty years ago in the United States two journalists were working for each press officer, but today there are six press officers for each journalist.”
The Press Officer is normally the person in charge of channelling information about an organisation. In other words, the information that interests to socialize the paying agency, once it has passed through the sieve of the interests of the objectives and has been measured in the recommended doses, is disseminated at the right time – often there are disproportionate economic and political interests. In this way, as it suits the organization, the journalist, accompanied by the inertia, can read the message he is going to disseminate in his environment. A little more “convenient” for the good.
Warren Buffett referred to institutions, but also to companies and political groups. Not only that, but in recent years, in the daily work of journalists, the press conferences without questions have become commonplace. No questions? That is not a press appearance, that is a rally!
The journalist is therefore given limited and one-way information. There are good journalists, but those of us who fall into stupidity also form a good platoon.
In the battle between the ASPE and BAIKO companies, dominant in the field of professional ball, something nice is happening: a lot of championships have been spent in the three major ASEGARCE championships and now those of BAIKO without winning any txapela.
As a result, curiosity devours me completely without knowing what has happened to get to this situation. It can simply be the consequence of the bad streak, perhaps the consequence of inadequate planning, perhaps a confused atmosphere. Or were the pelotaris of the season pretty quickly ripped and the young people who have entered their place will need time to reach the level of the previous ones? Maybe, after I've walked, because of the waters of doubt, I'm doing too many jobs in the nut mill.
Or why not? Perhaps at ASPE they have done an impressive job and now is the time to reap the fruits of that work. Oh my God!
Anyway, if you liked the curiosity, come straight to the pelotaris. Otherwise, for the press officer to act as a bridge with “his boys”, his doubts may be rust. After all, are they not for that? “Think about those responsible,” the press officials who tell us what we have to think about.

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]
Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
