Gloria: Katy, do you follow the news?
Katy: Yes, but not often.
Gloria: What interests you?
Katy: I like to read articles about: science, crime and entertainment.
Gloria: Where do you look?
Katy: I read the newspaper Sunday and search on the New York Times website.
Gloria: Who do you believe?
Katy: I believe what is written in the newspaper because it's the only alternative that I have.
Gloria: Are your perspectives being represented?
Katy: I am from Panama and I have not seen news about my country. The only news I saw was few weeks ago that was a big crime, it’s very sad because I didn't like to see that the only time that Panana apeared in the news was just for the incident that happened.
I like check the New York Times too! not often but sometimes...;)
ReplyDeleteAs Katy said, the only news she read about her country is bad news. I got the same feeling, it's true that the news is generally bad and often full of despair.
