Without doubt the daily newspaper nevertheless a source of knowledge and learning. Force retake almost forgotten words "pedophilia", "pimp", "rape", "tag", "opinólogos", "farandulizar" which will be incorporated into the linguistic terms. The last time we note with surprise that pressure, leaks, pipes are most commonly applied to the judiciary than the plumbing. More strangely, one learns that there are attempts to shield a minister. But there are aspects
less kind. First
morning news. Cultural landscape. He reports a specialist in the field: "There was a work of healing Valente Neruda's best poems and a super price acsequible. Only $ 5,500. " Macarena remains unchanged. "Five and a half lucas" would have been more level.
"The community is a representative of the junior journalists y'know Informal, conversational nearby. For her, "accessible", "affordable" and "accequible" are equal.
And without leaving the cultural field, we learned that the Ballet de Santiago traveled to Argentina to play the "pax de deux from Don Quixote."
A headline from Valparaiso, cultural heritage of mankind, "Beggars have not as cold resistance," which finds its counterpart capital: The film ... has its highest inspiration in Cecil B band ... "equivalent to" ... Mr rear of the Rings "and" ... the singer's apprehensions were unfounded ... "and a couple of contributions from the Dean of the press in English "... their apprehensions were absolutely true." And "a little grated cheese gratin ..." the agreement of mutual cooperation. " "Any burp ..."
Dean informs us with horror of the inhuman torture of military prisoners to their helpless "/ Graner / ... luma struck repeatedly with a detainee who had his leg injury and was handcuffed to a bed." But the scenario is not Villa Grimaldi, but Abu Ghraibd and victims are Chilean but no Iraqis. What is there our national and indigenous luma? Has globalization? Buttons
thick sample, which could multiply generously.
Why should they? Two reasons: The media companies have no interest in giving readers a product linguistically unimpaired. For this correction would be sufficient to recruit qualified and rigorously using style manuals as well friendly countries to speak.
Moreover, it is clear that many journalists have serious deficiencies in the management of language. It is not acceptable for an engineer to do calculations wrong, or that a surgeon cuts are only approximate. How are journalists who do not manage their key tool: the English language?
From north to south run 42 colleges journalism. If we assume only five subjects per semester, require no less than two thousand university professors specialized. Are we in the country the number of specialists? If not, you're fooling many young people who do not receive adequate preparation, despite the high costs, and the country, because they are giving titles to unqualified students.
And the problem is more serious still. Every journalist wants it or not has a powerful influence on the linguistic evolution of a society. Are paradigms, which uses spread. The Ministry of Education has promoted the use of newspapers as teaching materials.
The press is extremely critical of the judiciary, politicians, with the Government, Education. Is it not time to exercise a healthy self-criticism?
