Hello everybody, today I will tell you about an interesting topic, this is what I think is the most important or shocking Chilean piece of news in 2010. This is in my opinion, I mean, maybe it is not really like this. Well, this year, that even isn’t finished yet, have began with one change at national level, the transition of Bachelet’s government to the Piñera’s one, and meanly, the back to the right wing government on Chile, after twenty years of “the other side”. But this was replaced by other scene. The earthquake that affect our country, everybody’s eyes were focused on it, because it affected physically and emotionally to all the population, the nation, even persons of all the world were touched by it. During a few months after the earthquake, on the television news we saw images and videos of this tragedy, because people needed to find out what happened, after the shocking minutes of fear that they lived. After that, the press passed all the day repeating those materials on and on, like a movie, with a lot of edition behind, I mean, at first, it was necessary to related with the news, but then, it became a business because of the TV and radio ratings…
So I think the press and media accurate the important news thinking in the gain that they can get by alienating people to the screen, because the TV gets more effect on the brains, I think it is terrifying. How can they transform cinematographically the tragedy, only for money? The media is powerful, is an effective tool to control people, but as a hard conviction, as the real meaning of what is be part of the media of a country, they are very empty in all the senses. To the rest of the world, I think it is familiar, because these practices that Chilean press has done, have their reference on the rest of the word media work.
