HOW TO PROTECT INDEPENDENT SCIENCE AND ENSURE OUR INNOVATIONS ARE IN TUNE WITH OUR HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS? A Necessity for Free and Healthy Communities
“A free and unbiased science is essential for resilient and sustainable cities. Otherwise, business plans will become entrenched in untested technologies, which it will become too difficult and unwieldy to back away from. We will have become a highly inflexible and un-resilient, and secretive, society.”

–– Book review by Patrick SCIARRATTA*
In the Spring 2019, the Director of the Media Education Center in Belgrade introduced me to a new ‘Handbook for Journalism Education and Training’ from UNESCO (the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, in Paris).
MEC Director Miomir Rajcevic introduced me to the ‘handbook’ that is in fact a full course workup, reviewing at first what has been called ‘fake news,’ but discusses the topic in much greater detail – and its title betrays its thoughts on the subject.
“Journalism, Fake News, and Disinformation” is the actual title. (Available free, at: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000265552)

CERVANTES IN ISTANBUL

In mid- 16th century, an Italian family wanted their 11-year old son to be a Minister. However, in their home-town there was no Ministerial school. They decided to send the child to Napoli – by boat! In that era the Turkish corsairs (pirates) dominated The Mediterranean. They captured the ship in which the child was travelling. They brought the child to Istanbul.
