a new perspective
January 29th 2008 02:09
This blog aims to provide readers with an insight into global events and issues which are generally not covered by the commercial media. I live in Australia, so the blogs perspective will of course be that of an Australian, but by no means will it be written solely for Australian readers. It is for anyone who is interested in politics.
The news industry in Australia, and virtually everywhere else in the world, is nothing more than a business enterprise. It is concentrated in the hands of too few people and is generally so void of important content (except for a small handful of organisations) that it does not even fulfill its primary function of keeping people informed. Opinion and feature writing allows journalists/writers to expand on ideas and look at complex issues in sufficient depth. Issues that are worth reading about are generally only addressed within the mass media in a brief and fleeting manner instead of examined in the depth they deserve.
Journalists should have more license too be writers rather than simply news gathers and disseminators of information. A well written article keeps reader’s attention and engages them not only with the article’s style and words but more importantly with the issue at hand.
I believe it is important to inform people about political and societal issues in a manner that is easy to digest, entertaining to read and provides readers with ideas they want to share with others.
This is what 'Heart of Darkness' will continually be aiming for.
