 Who Owns the WTO? 
 
 When officials from 134 countries and tens of thousands of protestors
from
 around the world descend on Seattle later this month for the World
Trade
 Organization summit, Corporate Watch will be there. 
 
 We will be doing daily updates on the web as well as co-hosting World
 Trade Watch, a nationally and internationally syndicated radio
broadcast.
 
 We are covering this historic summit because the decisions of this
world
 body affect our daily lives, from the air we breathe, to the food we
eat
 to our access to information. 
 
 Our special WTO coverage begins with "Who Owns the WTO?" We've put
 together articles and fact sheets that look at who's who in the Seattle
 Host Organization and others that follow the corporate money. 
 
 Our Feature includes: 
 
   Case studies on WTO rulings
   What issues to watch for in Seattle
   Actvist perspectives from around the world
   Current News Stories...and more 
   Take Action! No New Round
 
 We will update Corporate Watch daily from Seattle starting on Monday,
 November 29th and running throughout the week. In addition to our
in-depth
 feature, you will be able to listen to the audio of World Trade Watch
 Radio, get daily headlines and check out photos of breaking events and
 protests. 
 
 So, go to the Feature, Who Owns the WTO? before the Seattle Round opens
 and come back for daily coverage starting November 29th.
