G20: Frontline Reports



Let us take a small chronic break from the monotony of the whinging and whining we encounter on a daily basis and reflect a little on the G20, in particular the protests. Ctrl.Alt.Shift, the magazine and website of which I edit, had troops at various locations, representing to the max. Some of the reports that have come back are not only excellent examples of journalism from a younger demographic but a reminder of what it's all about - not blood shed that's for sure... As Ctrl.Alt.Shift is moving servers you can't actually view them till Monday but make sure you check back for the latest from the frontline.
