Journalism - Activism from "in" to "out"

1. Local News:
2. National News:
3. International News:

I personally feel that there are dangerous broadcast ideologies happening today that diverts our attention to external news thus giving us the impression that our local news are less important. It looks that the problem is always elsewhere but where you live, your neighborhood, your community. I am not saying that National and International news are not important, what I am saying is that we do not have a choice from the networks and National and International news is only what we get. Now this is also a tactic practiced by many news networks to focus your head elsewhere so you will be alienated from your own neighborhood and community issues.

My goal is to practice a loop of journalism that takes care of local issues first as the spirit of GOD tells me to start an issue at home first. Local issues these days have to do with citizens living and personal security. To this point I am concerned to every aspect of local Safety & Traffic issues that favors citizens safety. For that matter is where I started to have interest for the urban acoustics issues of pollution. First there it is a challenge issue in so many ways because there are a great lack of personal public education on the issue. Government bodies, Public Transportation, Manufactories of Market and the Wrong After Market Vehicles Manufactories has been for years taking advantage of our lack of education contributing to the general pollution chaos in the City.

"Journalism starts in you and at home first."

    • In the UK we have quite a good 'local' news network, both of the UK's most popular channels BBC and ITV, split hour long news slots with half an hour of national news followed by a half hour of local regional news.

      I quite like knowing what's happening on my doorstep, but I guess most local news facilities, be it broadcast or print, have online services which means you can get your local news on your doorstep anywhere in the world.
