A very good news: the debate about the boundaries of journalism is gaining ground in Spain, full of newspapers, radio, blogs ... The question is whether it is lawful to make fiction in journalistic texts and to what extent. Javier Cercas, in itself, and Arcadi Espada, with its faux pas, with not embody the grief. The article by Francisco Rico, the response of fencing, sword rebounds. That's the pitch. Many voices have been raised. There have written many interesting things . It is appreciated ... But is there more? Nope, no more. In the debate that runs on journalism in Spain.
While the covers, major themes, the biggest news of opening and all information contained allegedly include exaggerations not stop, censorship, manipulation and excess, all look to fencing and Espada. While we accept the
press without question, the posturing of politicians, their refusal to grant interviews, the inability to see them in debates, while the worst TV programs are the preferred scenario for our leaders, we reviewed the detainees in the brothel Arganzuela.
While debugging or shelves to good people, while the unemployment fattening journalists because, above all, of their own dispensability, while unions continue with proclamations workers as if it were not the only product that can save our profession, we limit the discussion to personal quarrels. While referring
disappear, journalism is precarious, the contents are superficial and professionalism lose unnecessary step, all look to literature.
While the news agendas are designed far from the editors and reporters are limited to the last link in a chain that leaves them no other task to write little more than dictation, we serve the outpourings of Espada. While
communication offices gain weight and swell to hire (and poorly paid) reporters simulators become his master's salary, while those cabinets overflowing with essays communicated to impersonate the writers, while bombed information to mislead, we care about tobacco smoke Francisco Rico.
While universities are young people who know perfectly well that if they want to find work and can go forgetting what we have learned that if they apply what they have been told is going to stop in two days, we wonder if you can call john who is not .
While the public media are used as mere propaganda offices of who governs, while advertising orders and commands, while the headers seem more trenches every day to suit your political taste, avert our eyes to the opinion articles fictionalized. If I were Cercas
illustrate the state of journalism in English history, invented, of course, a journalist I know who is considering suicide and if Espada would like you all to take command in the ass and continue writing articles in The World. " I guess that's what they do. Meanwhile, journalism languishes and we talk about them.
