Media coverage in Chile

I choose this issue because right now the media coverage in Chile is mostly worrying. I believe is important to talk about this, seen that lately with the mapuche conflict the press and the media coverage has been corrupted.

The press is covering to the government’s benefit, manipulating information and almost making fun of the pain of its nation.

The pain of the chilean people has been related not only by Camilo Catrillanca’s death, who was an innocent man killed by the government’s special force which has Wallmapu militarized, also known as Comando Jungla.

In solidarity with the mapuche people, concentrations at Plaza Italia, Alameda and other kind of protest haven’t stop. But the special force repression hasn’t either. The media is still quiet about how the police is violating the rights of the chilean people to manifest their pain and hanger produce of so much injustice and corruption.

As communicators we have been discussing ways of how to pronounce ourselves to the mediocre coverage of the media. Some has taken the compromise to diffuse mapuche’s social media, which are covering what is really happening and also has worked as a place to look for activities to keep supporting the mapuche’s community situation.

Also, is the duty of the new generation of journalists and professionals of the audiovisual fill, to educated themselves thought this kind of matter, to learn how to communicate with integrity, without forgetting that they have to be the voice of the most vulnerable, and take care of their responsibilities has people who informs to the country.
