Pijama Surf


Almost every day I like see a web site that’s the name is Pijama Surf (http://pijamasurf.com/) and have alternative information. And really, I´m not sure if is a web site concerning journalism but always I can find reports or others approach about a lot of really interesting things. 

There you can find topics about: Culture, Politics, Health, Society, Entertainment, Sport, Economy, Nature, Books, Music, Theater and more, much more. And the web is really complete because is possible see the material in different platforms. For example, you can download podcast about evolutionary citizenship or pictures, never seen before, of bunker where Adolf Hitler commits suicide.

I think that the things that I most like of the web site are the variety and the issues that they develop with a free and original seal. One day you can find a video in three minutes about the evolution in special effects in the films in the last 136 years or read about the 10 amazing properties of marijuana found checked by the area of health.

The website was created in Mexico and in its manifest of values they say that they have the idea that reality is a collective construction and they proposed other different views but not for that the only truth. And in the end they say that they invite everyone to question what they read.

About speech given by the Nigerian writer Chimmanda Adichie.

I think that the more important thing that Chimmanda Adichie, Nigerian writer, says  in her speech called “The dangers of a single story” is the idea that when you only see, listen or read  one side story, only one vision of something, probably you never know the real story. And sometimes it´s the same in the news in Chile because only a few people have all the control over news and over the things that we can see in the television. For example,  the news in Chile, in general for me, is like that “single history”, the dangers of a single story that Adichie spoke about in her speech. And the worst, is almost always they want to show us the bad side of the all stories. They show the pain, the misery, the dead. I think that in all my life I never saw a News´s program presenting only good things, with different edges of the same topic. We, like journalists, must be aware that there is always more than one story in all the things.
