MEDIA


Walking together in the desert allows a lot of time for chatting with the friends who accompany you. It is interesting to exchange opinions on various topics and to know the opinion of people who live in different places. Giovanna who has lived in Stockholm for more than 20 years, described for example how the Italian media is considered abroad. The most striking thing from our media is the negativity of the news, and the tendency to transform every event into a tragedy. It digs up suffering and pain without respect for the persons involved and dramatic events take up all the space on our news at the expense of the positive events which should take the spot-light, at least to generate more optimism in the public. Thinking about her words, I have to agree: after a fatiguing day of work, with many problems inside and outside the house, to be bombarded with catastrophic news can’t be good. And so, relive the desert!
