Interesting, the point of view of the press on WSIS, at least in
Switzerland. In France WSIS is "not on the agenda" in the national
press. On the other hand the European Social Forum had a very strong
impact in both the national and regional papers and magazines. So there
is nothing to report from here upon WSIS, unless Bruno Oudet has a more
wider view from his Paris office. But what about German and British
press ? I guess, except ourselves, the Swiss community, a handful of
assigned diplomats and their advisors there isn't a great interest upon
this Summit. And the (bad)stage it has achieved last week won't promote
it ! This differentiates it completely from the Jo'burg Summit ! BTW
could the Media caucus who is/was particularly active gatther more
information about the SMSI seen from the international press side ?
Thanks Jean-Louis Fullsack CSDPTT
