[1]Readers of Global Voices in Spanish [1] and Canal Solidario [2] will have recently noticed a small widget showing on both webpages. The one on Global Voices in Spanish displays the latest articles from Canal Solidario. The gadget that appears in Canal Solidario feeds readers all new posts on Global Voices in Spanish.
This partnership allows more people to have access to both websites and the chance to be informed about subjects related to activism and the international blogosphere.
So, what is Canal Solidario? Let's hear it in their own words:
Canal Solidario-One World is a media project that has offered access to news and resources about solidarity, cooperation, peace, human rights and social dialogue through the internet since 1999. It is promoted by the Fundación Chandra, with the support of Fundación Un Sol Món de Catalunya.
The Canal Solidario-One World project is developed by a team of journalists committed to the idea of media as the engine of change towards a more inclusive and free society. Canal Solidario-One World belongs to the OneWorld international network, with 11 local branches all over the world and more than 1,700 subsidiary organizations.
It is worth mentioning that Canal Solidario has very interesting sections such as the Entrevistas [3] (Interviews) with people who play an active part in social movements and other areas of similar interest, La Lupa de los Conflictos [4] (The magnifying glass of conflicts) that analyses controversial subjects, and the Blogosfera [5] (Blogosphere), where posts from the international blogosphere are outlined on a weekly basis.
We are certain this partnership between websites will benefit readers who will see their information and reading options increased in this way.
