few days ago in Villa 31, was killed Adams Ledesma, director of a TV correspondent in the neighborhood and Mundo 31 of Villa.Si well has not yet determined a motive for the crime, it is probably paco dealers work at the possibility that the public exposure Ledesma. This hypothesis is reinforced by his widow receives threats pressing to leave the villa. To complete the few data available to us, Mr. Ledesma was of Bolivian nationality and had become a social reference in their community.
Surely no one will be surprised when we say that this death was practically over unnoticed in the media, despite being someone who was in journalism. But why, with information on "insecurity" as abundant as functional in creating currents of opinion, just has not appeared virtually anywhere?
And especially, being a journalist with the symbolism that is at this time. On the issue of insecurity in itself, I refer to the excellent post made Ricardo "Eggs and Ideas" , with a series of very interesting data, which is worth reading.
In reality, what happens, always represents a cut, a fragment. This cut reflects a certain approach, ie what you mean to whom. What interests us is to try to think about issues that are outside the cut , what is discarded.
The Nation, The Journal of the Mitre, it is often useful in these matters invaluable. Since its columns are usually denounce "insecurity" in on (and flammable) rhetoric, mixing it with political patronage (official, that is), but always focused on "the public", middle class / media high conservative tint. The Nation, a few months ago, reacted angrily to a poster which appeared "escraches" some journalists well related to the opposition parties and business interests of more powerful communication. Let us place ourselves, it was a poster that was taken, inter alia, as a sort of incitement to violence, as it was fully discussed by the Audiovisual Services Act, a law that these same journalists, in a condition militant invariably called "control law K media, "or" gag ". Of course, none of which appeared in the poster above had a problem. But rescue the reaction to the poster, to the point that his "victims" were received jointly by the Congress of the Nation by senators concerned about ...
The insecure we read and see so often and persistence in concentrated media are always people of middle or upper class, never villeros. The look that lead the nation to the world of the villages is usually the look of selfishness and contempt xenophobic and class that characterizes it. It goes without saying: it is what readers expect.
Adams Ledesma's death necessarily be part of it dropped off the front pages, screens, columns: the death of a foreigner in a village, and also concerning alternative social and communicative community. Recognize Ledesma's death is also to recognize the need for existence of Media Law by the much fought: to begin to give voice to the voiceless, the excluded, to s discarded, which will never be the concern of the mainstream media.
could say that what is discarded in the news are the people who are removed from society.
claims of slum dwellers, culture, organization, communication, to a large extent are channeled to the media they have built. Sections of society, stigmatized, made his attempt at integration, create identity, seeking progress. Need, like all an opportunity. Every day, thousands of people struggle with dignity for their livelihoods, educate their children, help build the country with his work. Daily are discriminated against, excluded, dismissed. There is a rhythm, a pulse, to the extent that the invisible as individuals, make visible as a danger to the discarded.
ninguneo But not all: on very close to the Ledesma's death, The Nation self addressed other issues related to the villas.
Let everyone draw their own conclusions.
