McChesney's November Lecture

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

Dear All, / Dear Mustafa Hussain,

A long time ago I offered to distribute to anyone interested a lecture 
given by Robert McChesney in Urbana, Illinois, on Nov. 2001, entitled 
"Confusion and Ignorance: US News Media Coverage of the Islamic World". I 
apologize for having taken so long. The process of trying to clean, adjust 
the volume and compress the file as much as possible without loss of sound 
quality took me longer than expected. A recent computer disaster has also 
delayed this matter.

Well, I've now got the recording in two formats, WAV and MP3:

WAV: approx. 41 MB
MP3: approx. 15 MB

The lecture and debate lasted 1 1/2 hours (88m 45s), that's why the files 
are huge. The sound quality is not excellent, given the recording 
conditions, but everything is hearable and transcribable. At any rate, it 
is plainly impossible for me to send these files by email, and unreasonable 
to upload them for easy downloading in one piece (it might take hours 
through a slow modem connection, and half ot the world doesn't even know 
what a cable or LAN connection is). The best option is for me to split the 
files and upload them to my web site (provided I have enough disk space).

If there's enough interest, I'll make a simple web page with the files and 
inform the list about its location.

Saúde,
-celso
