libcom.org/blog, has been set up to offer the most comprehensive English-language coverage of the wave of students’ and young people’s protests which has swept France this week.
A small group of us, half of whom have lived in France at one time or another, were talking about the situation on libcom.org/forums a few days ago. We were sharing translations from various sources with each other because there was very little English language coverage available. We then figured that we should really be sharing what we were learning with others and thought that a weblog would be the best format for to deliver such content. The blog allows all of us the chance to post new information as and when we get it, without delay.
Right now we’re covering events nearly 24 hours a day. Members of our team are based in London, Paris, Marseille and Edinburgh, with our Paris correspondents providing personal accounts of things that we otherwise couldn’t pick up on - the mood on the streets and the feeling of how momentum is moving. We are also in touch with young people and students - both for and against the strikes - in France who are sending us reports, including one of the initiators of the occupation of the historic Sorbonne.
We think we are providing the most comprehensive English language coverage of events that exists, and have been getting around 100,000 page views per day on this site and links from sites around the world.
