Komentoj pri Esperanto

This comment caught my eyes and I certainly agreed with Brian Barker.

As long as Esperanto speakers remain in their own ghetto, or act as a private sect 0r club, the situation with the mass media will stay the same.

Without being evangelical about the language, speakers of Esperanto should contact the mass media, to tell them that - for example - following a short period of 124 years Esperanto is now in the top 100 languages, out of 6,800 worldwide. Also http://www.lernu.net has 125 000 hits per day and Esperanto Wikipedia enjoys 400 000 hits per day. Esperanto Wikipedia has 150,000 entries, ahead of Danish and Arabic.

There are two urban myths which need to be exploded. Firstly that “everyone speaks English” and secondly “no-one speaks Esperanto” . Neither of these are true and need to be challenged.

How much the esperanto speakers are dealing with the Press in their respective countries ? Just writing in mere Esperanto won't help to promote Esperanto, the local people in your country may not understand.
