“I don't ever think about the utility of fiction. I don't believe in it or certainly don't require anybody to consider it. A novel or short story might be useful to a reader in all kinds of ways, many of which no writer would ever foresee, which is a good thing.” ThinkingBelieveKindNovelGood ThingsAll KindsShort StoryUtility Author:Francisco Goldman
“Mexico just needs more journalists, and especially more good places to publish and exhibit. There are all kinds of censorship practiced in Mexico, not just violent repression. Perhaps the biggest threat to good journalism here is the massive power of the country's media monoliths - Televisa and TV Azteca - who have 80% of the market. They endlessly saturate the country with propaganda and inanity.” KindCountryThreatViolentAll KindsJournalismJournalistPropagandaCensorshipPublish Author:Francisco Goldman
“The Peña Nieto government is not going to investigate itself; there's no true autonomy in the investigative and justice branches of the government in Mexico. The recent Mexican crimes and scandals, is profoundly structural, and you'd have to change the way Mexico is run, create a truly independent special prosecutor's office, to even have a chance to get close to achieving justice. People, including the families and many others throughout Mexican society, aren't going to give up in fighting for just that kind of change.” PeopleGivingKindRunningFightingJusticeChanceAchieveSpecialCrimeOfficeGiving UpIndependentAutonomyMexican Author:Francisco Goldman
