boy with his grandfather feeding the pigeons I tell them that the recent article published in Siglo XXI with the title of "The Historic Center Find Your Identity" is an example of much of what is wrong with journalism today, and I will use from now on all classes taught in Guatemala (and taught several), as an example of how NOT journalism should be done. I recommend that other professors to read it and consider doing the same with him.
You know that if it is a good example? Of handling and distortion of information. By the way, you can read the full article clicking here.
First, perhaps because the report focused on giving low blows and bad journalism, had neither the reporter or reporter's name, no space to leave comments readers. Gives the impression that nobody was interested in refuting what there exposed. It is not uncommon to "writing" in a note instead of the name of the reporter, but in an article "research" of this size, if set.
then please see the paragraph that begins the article:
"Under the Microscope lived near some of these stories in the bleak environment of the Historical Center and compiled a series of changes which looks to rebound from recovery of pedestrian spaces, to the park rejuvenation and circulation. "
is, seems to intimate that such a bleak environment is everything Historical Center but argues, falsely of course, who will talk / collected on the number of changes being sought to claim the center, recovery of pedestrian spaces, etc. Or am I misunderstanding? But then, throughout his career, and again not to mention anything - but nothing - positive as the Historical Center. In other words, are positioned as they are going to have some balanced and impartial, prior to muddy everything with all their negativity.
A section write: "According to the National Civil Police, from 1 January to 13 October this year, there was a report of 960 crimes."
This Historical Center. And yes, many crimes. More like do not put how many crimes have been reported in areas 9, 10, 15, 18, or what not more, at no time can judge if the downtown area, one more crime than other areas. I venture to say that there is less or equal. Therefore distort information to make it look like there is more crime in the Historic Center in other areas of the city. Among
everything they say, adding "They have become points of proliferation of commercial sex, both women and men." Also The Montúfar right? If not all --- everyone! - the city centers that have met in many places, and met enough, have pockets of prostitution. And on top photo to sex workers, without regard for your privacy. Those details are the most basic ethical taught in any journalism career.
addition, he still threw the chipotazo on El Amate, sold porn and pirated movies like that to be great novelty in this country. And was not that also sell medicines and soaps all natural, there is a small library, there are ice cream shops and banks and everything else. So is "balanced" this worthy investigative reporting.
in English to this kind of reporting is called mud-slinging : throwing mud. Typical during elections. I would add
of which we have many who work in different capacities to move forward with the Historic Center in different areas: San Sebastian Barrio, Barrio Modelo, the neighborhoods surrounding the Cerrito del Carmen and others. There are neighbors who make a lot of their neighborhoods, cultural and urban level, and are happy to live here. Here's hospitals, museums, public and private schools.
not only La Sexta which is being developed, although that, of iconic, seems to have become the "eye of the storm" of discussions lately. Still, The Sixth never be a "Oakland Mall" so those who use it are those who use these malls and shopping centers. Is a better place for people that all life has come to spend their Sundays at the Centre. Which if well used or not the resources to develop material La Sexta is discussed and it is good that it exists, but that's another story.
This reporter, reporters / as, who are in XXI Century , for whatever reason - because he spoke to them rudely or political ideology - perhaps he wanted to drive to the Mayor, as the Mayor was "Historic Center" ... but "the Centre" are all who live and work in the day a day and have pride of place. I know few places where there is a sense of community and tradition that exists in many of its neighborhoods.
An article so unprofessional and ill-intentioned. not research. If you are going to do research, please do it well. Present bad, of course, but also good.
Ultimately, it would have been more professional, if the "grudge" is against the mayor, leaving the closet and do research about him openly. And if they wanted to do an investigative report on the Centre itself, I fear that managed just a sad imitation of what really should be. Focus
just in the pathology center (yes have them), not in a spirit of social contribution but only to distort, stereotype and encrudecerlas, ignoring all the good pit or by placing the good and that everything would just work the Mayor, is intentional misappropriation of information and unworthy of being considered serious journalism. It is also a disrespect and insult to the work of those who live and work in and through the Historic Center.
Finally, thanks to the reporter by explaining in detail how to get cocaine in the Historic Center. There are many who can explain in detail how to get it as easy in the fields fashionable Zona Viva and even universities. Clarification
: I have friends who are journalists Century, whose work is respected, and I'm sure this is not the work of them.
And before I quit, I come to invite you to view events previous post as it has many events this week, and you have added more, such as the beautiful Baroque concert will be held in Conservatory and Halloween parties around the Centre.
