FW, we don't get much coverage on the India and Pakistan issue down here. I was reading the newspaper the other day and noticed that nowhere in the front or back cover anything about that war could be found; but they had big headlines and pictures on the World Cup. But you're correct, it's probably getting more coverage in the US because you could suffer the consequences of a nuclear attack, not because the media really cares about what happens in the other side of the world. Unfortunately...

Anyway, here are some links to news and reports on the death of Tim Lopes:

• Journalist is tortured, slain - Shantytown death laid to Rio drug lord (Boston Globe, June 11th)
• Organized Crimes On Rise In Brazil (The Guardian, June 17th)
• 8 Journalists Killed in 2002 (Committee to Protect Journalists)
• Brazil: CPJ saddened by journalist's murder - Letter to the brazilian President
• Murder of missing TV Globo journalist confirmed (Reporters Without Borders, June 10th)

If you want to use our message, that's fine with me. cho.manno?
