Sponsor of NewspaperIndex detained in USA
Journalist detained without explanation at OAS conference
More than a dozen local law enforcement officers and Secret Service agents detained journalist (directora de contenidos) Lyng-Hou Ramirez of Grupo de Diarios America for one hour Saturday at an Organization of American States meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., according to a complaint she filed with OAS. She was not told why she was detained, she said. Ramirez is content director for the Miami-based Grupo de Diarios America, which compiles information from 11 newspapers in Latin America. Ramirez recounted the incident in an interview and in her complaint. She said she was exiting the Broward County Convention Center when deputies stopped her, saying she was not at an authorized exit. The deputies asked to see her credentials, and questioned her about pictures she had taken and about details of her driver’s license and press pass. They also inspected her purse and briefcase.
Lyng-Hou Ramirez of Grupo de Diarios America has translated www.newspapersindex.com into spanish on behalf of the south american media group.
“La traducción al español de Newspaperindex.com es cortesÃa de Lyng-Hou RamÃrez, directora de contenidos del Grupo de Diarios América (GDA ), un consorcio exclusivo integrado por los once periódicos independientes con más influencia en Latinoamérica: La Nación (Argentina)
O Globo (Brasil), El Mercurio (Chile), El Tiempo (Colombia), La Nación (Costa Rica), El Comercio (Ecuador), El Universal (México), El Comercio (Perú), El Nuevo DÃa (Puerto Rico), El PaÃs (Uruguay) y El Nacional (Venezuela).”

Being a PR Consultant India, I closely deal with both sides of the coin, the journalists and their subjects. Journalism is often viewed as a threat by many quarters here in India as well, and all for good reason.
The number of sting operations undertaken by journalists from leading publications and TV channels in India to garner attention from their audiences has got celebrities cry foul and run for cover! This, of courtse, is bound to get stricter vigilance and harsh rection form people who want to stay away from the flash bulbs. The question is, whether these people have no right to privacy being celebrities?
