Lesson from immigration symposium: U.S. Has a lot it can teach Europe. Really. (I know, I was surprised, too.)
Comments in social networks about immigrants generally positive; comments on online stories often the opposite. Anonymity a reason.
Panelist: Content analysis shows social networks have the most positive comments about immigrants. Broadcast and cable the least.
Media are great at covering events, but immigration covered well is coverage of a process. More difficult.
Am at opening session of Immigration Reporting Symposium in Paris. One observation: Every minority needs a minority to persecute.
Am watching great light show at Eiffel Tower to celebrate its 120th anniversary.
Back in Paris. Airport bus just let me off at Arc de Triomphe. Now 15-min wak to hotel. Cloudy but warm enough.

Editor who led walkout from Latvia's largest readershp paper is going to kick butt in her new online news venture. Establishment beware.

Always true - if you want to know where to get great food for cheap in a new city or country - ask the newspaper reporters.
