I really think that in Chile the news are a little awful. The reason is
because the newspaper and the television always show crime, painful stories and
bad things happened.
Also, sometimes the stories they show aren’t good. Sometimes only one
side of the story is shows and the others sides or point of views haven’t into
it. Honestly, I’m not pretty sure if in Chile freedom of speech really exists
because the people who have the power always have the control of press so only
the information is manipulated by them and people consume it.
I totally agree with Chimmanda Adichie. She’s right about many points.
First one, she speaks about the discrimination. Sometimes people think
something wrong just because the ignorance they have. The Mass media help in it too, only express what they want, and people believe in it and think it is
totally true. But isn’t.
I think, we as journalist have the mission of showing different point of
views of the stories. We have to express the reality as much as we can. How the
thing really happens and after the people could think by themselves, have their
own opinion about something that happened.
I'm agree with you, many times in history the information is used for manipulated ...but now, with a action society, should be a change...I hope so, inclusive with the powerful in there.
