Start spreadin’ the news…

4 March 2013

Mexican creativity, and protest, at its best. Ambulantes are usually the people who get on the subway selling everything from candy to pirate CDs to copies of the Periodic Table (I bought one once… I was trying to do a crossword puzzle in Spanish, and didn’t know the names for the elements) but it can mean any roving resource provider. Fed up with what’s seen as media manipulation and omissions by the corporate press (especially Televisa), “Periodistas Ambulantes” are taking the news to the people, at least to the people who ride the Metro. Bunch of dirty hippies? Uh… no.
