Yours Truly Profiled In The Daily Star
August 23, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
My profile was part of a Daily Star feature about blogging in Lebanon, which included separate profiles of three bloggers, Maya, Imad and yours truly.
While I want to thank Emma Gatten for her very thorough interview, I couldn’t help but notice an odd little detail: In all three profile pieces, Mine, Maya’s and Imad’s, there was not a single mention of the names of our blogs, respectively “Beirut Spring”, “Maya’s Amalgam” and “Trella’s Blog” (plus no mention of our web addresses or even links in their website to our blogs).
Of course, as you know, I’ve always been critical of the Daily Star, but even I wouldn’t suggest that they are intentionally editing out our blogs’ names and URLs. It’s not like they’re feeling threatened or anything.
