There's nothing journalists love more than flexing their muscles

Article Abstract:

Journalists tend to show little interest in serious stories that have no real potential for the development of interesting sidelines. This is why they have given a great deal of attention to the private financial arrangements of former Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Mandelson, for example, and very little to the Aids epidemic in South Africa. They prefer stories involving issues and people that can be manipulated, and also adopt an egotistical approach, wishing to determine the shape of the world rather than just reflect it.

Strangely, I find myself in agreement with the Pope

Article Abstract:

The Pope has expressed support for the Jubilee 2000 campaign for Third World debt relief. It is clearly morally right to relieve the debt burden of the poorest countries, as it is often the poorest people within these countries who suffer most. Developed countries want to dictate the priorities of Third World countries in return for debt relief, but this is acceptable as long as those who need the money most urgently get it.
