Needs to be globalised

This article is very Australian-centric and more needs to be done on adding further examples of the use of this type of journalism in other parts of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenafalt (talk • contribs) 19:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Forced to need money

From "When Corporations Rule the World": "One of the major challenges faced by colonial administrators was to force those who obtained their livelihoods from their own lands and common areas to give their lands and labor to (slave) plantation development, that is, to make them dependent on a money economy so that their resources, labor, and consumption might yield PROFITS to the colonizers....." They should be PAID. Stars4change (talk) 17:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accounts of Ferdinand Marcos

Huge accounts opened by Marcos mistress accountant , where does a Philippine women get 116 metric ton of gold and deposit in a European bank, in fact deposits huge sums of money around the world. infact if Marcos alive today would be one of the richest men in the world. like being paid by President Reagan for leasing the Philippine Nuclear Power Plant built by the French , for his star war program . The only thing is that Marcos for got to tell him it was never commissioned. Think about this none of these transactions never went into the Philippine Government Bank. 2A00:23CC:B492:5201:404:EE5E:8380:D945 (talk) 16:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chequebook journalism → Checkbook journalism – The article uses the American spelling; not once is the word spelled chequebook after the title. Change for consistency. User136596 (talk) 07:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
