Where are these news?

20090109elpepuvin_2

Before we we came to study in Spain, with the Nohelia maintained the routine of reading newspapers online, every day we learn of the news tort incessantly besetting the country. When he arrived in March through July were added to him of theft, rape, cheating and killing several, the violent student demonstrations, the iconic shots of the high schools, reports the "future political leaders, the demands of university The wars in chairs in front of UMCE or the incessant attacks of the guanaco (water cannons) against the front of the USACH. Tragedy did not end there, because the hand of the end of July, the winter came and the like would not be, the rains, they brought the flooding of underpasses, the hundreds of victims and of course the total collapse health system, which as always was accompanied by the usual controversy over the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns and the debate in relation to heating and rising fossil fuel, so essential to heat homes in the country and only one component of the constant environmental alerts Santiago. Also opening discussions about the horrible state of the air in Valparaiso and the controversy, too, has become an annual custom, Temuco pollution from burning wood.

Where are the news?, Why do not fill the pages of newspapers?, What has changed? 20091012elpepuvin_1 think the answer is sadly obvious, but beyond political manipulation that may exist in the media, what bothers me is that now I'm living abroad, not what is happening in Chile, or is Chile that I got used to was not really showing me?.

I'm worried because they have spent more than six months after the earthquake in Chile and newspapers online (say, the most widely read) have not even got a couple of headlines telling people that was after the fourth largest earthquake ever recorded since the means exist to measure the intensity of these. I remember when it was an earthquake in Antofagasta and newspapers showed us throughout the years that followed the earthquake, especially on the situation of people, editorial columns that criticized the ineffectiveness of government and political leaders' comments pointing out the main problems were The recovery of the north was so slow. Furthermore, in those years rose media scandals thousands, unmasking villains and proof of the lack of clarity of the measures the government took every week. Now when I start reading the blogs of the day, I usually find words good manners to criticize the government and solutions such as "Never Look Back."

Fate has made the Nohelia and I are studying in Spain and we can evaluate this situation and compare it with that of the country. The facts are the facts seem to English journalists and tell them, which changes according to the media outlet you choose to see is the ornamentation of these facts, for example, if you see a left channel will read "Zapatero innovate again new measures to combat unemployment ", while the right channel say" Zapatero resumed questionable measures against unemployment. " In conclusion, I believe that the manner and the topics that were considered important (at the level of Chilean newspapers because I have not seen the TV) have changed a lot over the past year. This column is only a reflection of someone from outside asks where are the news? and for example why I found out through facebook yesterday that a group of Mapuche who spent more than 40 days on hunger strike?

Does It Hurt To Remove The Merina Out




Looking at the sky listening to the Moon
I was surprised seeing the night


cherish their lights

purr I sing my eyes

Observing Space Hunting
winks


feel the embrace Of your Your company

hand smell
silence next to you Feeling

sigh While I see your eyes



We observed the moon kiss your lips.
