I hope all of you that read this have either visited my site or have been alerted via my email subscription service. The service is easy to set up and it really helps me know when people know that I have posted to the site. As we know, social media is becoming more and more difficult to follow and I hope that this site and some other sites I have been developing are being utilized.

So, I have a question and favour to ask. If you received this via the service please let me know. If you are reading this post via other means (i.e. Facebook or Twitter) would you please follow the link below to sign up. It takes less than a minute and I promise that I won’t be sending tons of emails. I typically post a couple times a month. If you feel this is too much after a while, you can always unsubscribe.

I truly need to know who is actually following my site and the content I will be providing. I will be going into full production for podcasting and will also send out snippets of my new books. I do need some form of feedback to know that my work is actually being read or listened to.

So there you have it. Go to this page and find the “news feed subscription” to the right of the blog (or at the bottom of the page on tablets and phones) to sign up. You can also sign up for the podcasts there too.

Thank you so much, Martin

Localization and World News on the Internet. What is localization on the internet? How does it affect you?

Find out March 22, 2017 at the VIRL Courtenay branch at 6:00pm.

Localization is a global system that in effect, may foster censorship and propaganda. How so? Let Martin Anthony walk you through his understanding of this seemingly invisible firewall of free information. His experience with topics of the internet started, in Vancouver, prior to the dot com era. He sat on committees (Praxis and AES) that discussed copyright protection long before it was an issue.

In later years, he became manager and Editor in Chief of the English Internet department of a privately owned Turkish news agency in Istanbul. There he worked with journalists from around the world. Martin later hosted a TV talk show in Istanbul where he interviewed scores of guests ranging from a former Whitehouse security chief, to world famous musicians.
