MR. DIRECTOR: Ted Turner, founder of CNN and creator of television news as a 24-hour public service, has died. That's pretty much what all the headlines will say. But it is worth dwelling on the gigantic effects and consequences derived from the creation of a news channel in continuous transmission. That single idea changed the map of power in the world and, with it, modified -many times without us noticing- our habits of life. Robert Edward Turner III installed a camera broadcasting live on a permanent basis and forced the political, economic and cultural powers of the planet to adapt to that pace. He did it before the internet. That paradigm shift forced all institutions - and anyone aspiring to influence any area of public life - to play by the rules of television immediacy. Since then, everyone had to respond in real time, while millions of people received a constant stream of news hierarchized according to the urgency criterion of each minute, as in a press room on a global scale. The model empowered the citizen and strengthened what in English is called accountability . In a way, it democratized access to information and interconnected the world under a continuous pulse, sust

El presidente brasileño, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, viajó este miércoles a Washington para reunirse con su par estadounidense Donald Trump, con varios temas espinosos sobre la mesa y mientras busca mejorar su imagen en casa de cara a las elecciones de octubre. Lula, de 80 años, y Trump, de 79, son opuestos ideológicos que han mantenido una relación difícil. La del jueves será apenas su segunda reunión oficial, tras otra en Malasia en 2025. Aquel encuentro fue cordial y llevó a que Washington relajara aranceles punitivos impuestos a Brasil por el juicio al expresidente Jair Bolsonaro, aliado de Trump y condenado a 27 años de prisión por un intento golpista. Mucho ocurrió desde entonces: Estados Unidos derrocó a Nicolás Maduro en Venezuela y lanzó una guerra contra Irán junto a Israel. Lula , que acusa a Trump de actuar como un “emperador”, ha criticado abiertamente estas acciones estadounidenses. “Estoy en contra de que cualquier país del mundo se entrometa y ejerza interferencias políticas” , dijo el veterano líder de izquierda en abril. Lula llega a la reunión políticamente debilitado, tras una serie de derrotas en el Congreso, y empatado en las encuestas para las presidenciales d
