Splann ! | ONG d’enquêtes journalistiques en Bretagne
►https://splann.org
Pour un journalisme d’investigation en Bretagne
Nous voulons produire des #enquêtes au long cours en donnant le temps et les moyens à nos #journalistes d’aller au bout de leurs #investigations.
Nous souhaitons aborder des questions d’intérêt général en étant protégés de toute pression et censure.
Nous entendons publier nos articles à la fois en français et en breton.
Nous lançons Splann ! (« clair », en breton), la première #ONG entièrement dédiée à l’investigation journalistique en #Bretagne, créée sous forme d’association à but non-lucratif. Et nous avons besoin de vous !
Sur le modèle de Disclose, notre parrain
Splann ! est parrainé par Disclose, dont le modèle économique nous a convaincus. Parce que nous ne croyons pas à la course à l’information et que celle-ci représente un bien public, nos enquêtes seront financées par des dons de particuliers et de fondations philanthropiques puis publiées gratuitement par des médias partenaires ainsi que sur notre site.
Nous refuserons les subventions et les financements d’entreprises. Nous rendrons nos comptes publics.
Comme Disclose, connu notamment pour la révélation du scandale des armes françaises utilisées contre des civils au Yémen et la convocation de ses journalistes dans les sous-sols de la DGSI, Splann ! enquêtera partout en Bretagne où l’intérêt général le requerra.
La Bretagne, un terrain d’enquête riche et complexe
Nous constatons qu’en Bretagne, sur des enjeux cruciaux, l’information manque. Prolifération des algues vertes, puissance de l’industrie #agro-alimentaire, nouvelles #infrastructures_énergétiques, présence militaire, connivences #politiques, radicalisation des #luttes_sociales et environnementales… A l’heure des remises en question de notre modèle de société, la Bretagne regorge de sujets qui nous interrogent. Leur portée dépasse bien souvent les limites régionales. Ils s’inscrivent dans des enjeux contemporains.

#Total : An Illusion of Climate Strategy
▻http://multinationales.org/Total-An-Illusion-of-Climate-Strategy
Total likes to present itself as a responsible business with a strategy for dealing with #climate_change. The French company even published its own climate strategy, explaining how it intends to contribute to the goal of keeping global warming below 2°C. But as 350.org France and Observatoire des multinationales reveal in this new report, Total’s actions and strategy are completely at odds with effective action to tackle the climate crisis. Total is facing pressure from some of its investors (...)

Information, Democracy and Corporate Power

Without free and independent information, there can be no democracy. Yet the growing power and #influence of bug business and transnational corporations in the economic and political realms is partly based on the control of information about their influence and impacts. This article was first published as an introduction to our publication Democratic Information in an Age of Corporate Power. It seems obvious that without information, democracy cannot exist.

Independent information on big business and corporate power has never been more critical to our democracy. Whether from trade secrets protection, media concentration or because of the general erosion of workers’ and civil society’s rights to challenge business practices, independent information is under threat.

When Prisons, Inmates and Detention Policies Become Investment Products

More than a third of prisons in #France are partly run by private companies. The trend towards privatising the prison system, which began three decades ago, is gaining in momentum. A handful of companies are capitalising on this very lucrative market, providing services that include catering, receiving visitors, building detention facilities and organising prison labour. The French state spends almost six billion euros a year on these services even though the benefits of private management (...)

#France's Blatant Disregard for the Health of its People – How the Government and Lobby Groups have been Pushing Diesel Cars
▻http://multinationales.org/France-s-Blatant-Disregard-for-the-Health-of-its-People-How-the-Gov
The large majority of France’s car fleet runs on diesel, despite its lamentable health effects and the enormous costs involved for society. But who is to blame? Since the eighties, political authorities, industrial figures and transport professionals have persistently backed the diesel engine even though its emissions have always been recognized as extremely harmful – and even carcinogenic. And the evidence continues to mount against it. But the French government recently announced an (...)

In Bangladesh, Rana Plaza Survivors Set Up Own Cooperative
▻http://multinationales.org/In-Bangladesh-Rana-Plaza-Survivors-Set-Up-Own-Cooperative
The Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh killed 1,135 people and left thousands more injured, prompting corporate garment giants to up their commitments and establish codes of conduct and ethical charters. Hundreds of inspections followed, resulting in the closure of a number of garment factories due to unacceptable working conditions. A group of forty garment workers traumatised by the disaster, decided to change tack and create their own garment cooperative – Oporajeo, which means invincible (...)

Half of World Heritage sites are currently threatened by industrial development, and the oil and mining sectors pose a particular threat. So many invaluable sites and #biodiversity sanctuaries face being wiped off the map just because we are unable to do anything about our voracious model of development.

Walls and wire fences are not all that’s being built at Europe’s borders. The European Commission and Security Companies dream of “smart borders”: a multitude of automated and interconnected files and control apparatuses able to follow each individual. The program’s objective? Counter-terrorism and keeping #migrants out. But these structures — the effectiveness of which remains to be demonstrated — risk straining public finances, while threatening civil liberties and private life, should some (...)

#Hors-jeu - Le #football, cartes sur table - Upian, #ARTE, BR
▻https://horsjeu.football/aide
Le dernier #webdoc de #Davduf et Arte : à l’occasion de l’Euro 2016, #investigations dans le monde du Foot sous forme de 99 cartes à collectionner.
Le principe pour accélérer la découverte des cartes étant de les partager, il est conseillé de se créer (au moins !) 2 comptes... #tricheur ? mais c’est le thème du jeu : l’important c’est de gagner !
9 ALBUMS D’INVESTIGATION DE 11 CARTES
Le football, cartes sur table
Un documentaire en ligne à collectionner de David Dufresne & Patrick Oberli
AVANT MATCH - HORS-JEU C’EST QUOI ?
Hors-jeu repose sur le principe bien connu des cartes de foot à collectionner de notre enfance. Le site se découpe en 9 albums d’investigation, de 11 cartes chacun. Chaque carte révèle un témoignage vidéo inédit ou un document exclusif. Hors-jeu se joue sur tous les terrains (ordinateurs, téléphones, tablettes).
VESTIAIRES - HORS-JEU C’EST OÙ ?
Pour être sur la feuille de match, l’inscription (gratuite) est nécessaire. Hors-jeu accepte tous les logins et schémas de jeu connus : courriel, Twitter, Facebook, Google+. C’est en étant inscrit que votre collection démarre. Pour de bon.
COUP D’ENVOI - HORS-JEU C’EST COMMENT ?
Une fois inscrit, chaque jour, vous allez recevoir un nouveau paquet de cartes. Ouvrez-le comme s’il s’agissait du match de votre vie. Ce paquet peut contenir LA carte que vous espériez. Ou quelques doublons. Toujours des pépites. Et parfois des nouvelles importantes.
Pour compléter rapidement votre collection, sans attendre l’arrivée quotidienne d’un nouveau paquet, plusieurs options de jeu s’offrent à vous. La plus efficace : le partage. Car Hors-jeu croit au partage, aux centres de formation et à la société de contribution. Pour échanger vos cartes, toutes les tactiques sont possibles : par courriel, par lien, par Facebook, par Reddit, par Twitter, sur notre forum, par SMS, de vive-voix. Vous trouverez toutes ces possibilités à droite de chacune des cartes.
Plus vous échangez de cartes, plus vous augmentez vos chances de récupérer de nouvelles cartes. Les trophées vous indiquent où vous en êtes au score. Attention, certaines cartes sont plus rares que d’autres. Vous ne pourrez les partager qu’un petit nombre de fois, ce qui les rendra plus difficiles à récupérer. Bon match !
Et on dirait bien que ce coup-ci, c’est compatible avec #Linux !
@davduf : tiens, c’est marrant, c’est exactement ce que je te disais quand je me suis rendue compte que je ne pourrai pas accéder à #FortMcMoney.
Le #HTML5, c’est magique.

In Alberta and Downstream, the Heavy Toll of the Oil Sands Industry on #water and the Environment
▻http://multinationales.org/In-Alberta-and-downstream-the-heavy-toll-of-the-oil-sands-industry-
In Alberta, Canadian and international oil companies, including #Shell and #Total, develop oil sands deposits at a frantic pace. Despite the current oil price slump, they still hope to triple production by 2030. While there is much talk of its greenhouse gas emissions, the oil sands industry also has heavy, lesser-known impacts on water resources and #biodiversity. The consequences of excessive water extraction and pollution are beginning to be felt downstream, perhaps all the way to the (...)

▻http://multinationales.org/Cleaner-Oil-Sands-Shell-and-Veolia-s-Carmon-Creek-Project

Meanwhile, the starting date for the plant seems to have been postponed until at least 2019. Second part of Edward Struzik’s report on oil sands and (...)

Naomi Klein: “If you can marry an economic justice agenda with climate action, people will fight for that future”
▻http://multinationales.org/Naomi-Klein-If-you-can-marry-an-economic-justice-agenda-with-climat
Given the massive inequalities generated by capitalism and the ecological urgency of #climate_change, “everything can change”, Naomi Klein claims in a new book. Provided we do not “give in to despair”, because “too many lives are at stake”, and “fight for a more just economic system”. The Canadian anti-globalization activist and essayist is famous for her inspired criticism of capitalism: No Logo denounced the tyranny of global brands, and The Shock Doctrine the brutality of neoliberal (...)
