a day like today but on 9 October 2000 , in the Alliance government, opening the editorial vovió Siglo XXI Argentina after the dictatorship and forced her to close burn more of its historic title. At that time, "Charly" or "Charlie" became "Carlos" Diaz, the new editor of Siglo XXI Argentina. He was only 25, just graduated from sociologist at the UBA and was encouraged to take charge of a "political-cultural project" that defied the economic crisis and publishing business criteria recently recommended by the traditional and orthodox business.
Today, 10 years from that start, I get a report very piola Carlos Diaz on page 12 where he said a few words how are you:
"On 1 January 2002 we had to turn around a hundred eighty degrees in the strategy that had arisen because it became impossible to import. We appeal to the import substitution and famous begin to do here the most important books we imported. At the same time accelerate the development process of our catalog. "
"We have to be a company in the strict sense of the word, if we are not profitable, we close. But it is a somewhat atypical. XXI century is now serving 45 years and never distributed the money among its shareholders. Whenever there was profit was reinvested in the editorial. "
"I'm no political analyst, but my feeling is that Kirchner's pragmatism, in the best sense of the word, he allowed a management anyone expected, with a number of important changes that no one expected in the short term, and this generated much enthusiasm in which we are younger. For someone like me who grew up surrounded by disappointment, no hope to achieve great changes in society, now I see that it was possible to me is very difficult to stay away from Kirchner. "
"A title that sells 300 copies a year is great for us. That is the real mainstay of XXI century, not a lot of success selling a year and then disappears. No short-term bet successes ever. "
"The big publishers are cocoliche: published by Kirchner and antikirchnerista. Marcos Aguinis Ricardo Forster can be with the same publisher. I struck a bit of that. "
The full interview can be read here , here and here .
Coincidentally (?) , on Tuesday, Craig said a few words to the new graduates of the Foreign Service Institute's office and said, among other things ...
"In Argentina, no only in the diplomatic career in the teaching profession, in many areas were rewarded over the years. It is true that the years bring experience and that experience is very good, but I think we have to have a new concept also in all activities and that is to reward those with good ideas, regardless of years, and those projects to carry out, because otherwise, many times we got to the paradox that someone was awarded a senior, it happens many times in the teaching profession, when you're almost ready to retire and that there is more desire to go to home to do new things, because it is the evolution of life and it is the product of a long working life.
why I say that we need to inject new concepts and methodologies in all areas and the Foreign Service of the Nation can not be free to give plenty of room and plenty of space to new generations as well, too, in a world that has changed very quickly can more accurately identify new needs, new communication codes but we could do ourselves that we are generating, "I say yet, the press and literacy Gutenberg.
The world has changed and I believe we must change with it and giving and open new opportunities for the opportunity to not come after many years when one is tired out there and really do not have all the strength and momentum gives youth. "
