Josefa Benitez: "The media have lost credibility ... why? "

The Conference on the borders of civilizations. New order in the global communication system, which is held in URJC, places the audience in the traditional triad: the cultural sphere, the sphere of communication and policies that affect both.

The theoretical exposition of these relationships is in the hands of Professor RR.II. University Complutense de Madrid, Rafael Calderon Cervera. For Calderon, still "can not speak of a universal civilization as we are taking the first steps." The problem is that "globalization is interdependence and globalization," but "the interdependence is not equal." And is that "Europe, North America and Asia are the most used Internet. And the rest, Africa, Latin America, Oceania and the Middle East, just use it. When that change ... another rooster crow. " On the borders between civilizations, the ambassador of Denmark in Spain, Niels Pultz said the crisis in the Muhammad cartoons as a paradigmatic example of disagreements between civilizations.

A practical example of economic and political subordination between countries exposes the teacher Elaine Levine through a study on the new map of the situation of migrants in the United States and an analysis of Obama and his policy Immigration: "America is the country that immigrants currently in the world and, of course, has always been a country of immigrants. Most of these were from Europe but in the last 30 years that has changed and is now Latin America and some Asian countries which are at the top ", especially Mexicans. The United States receive much of their wealth from the work of Hispanic and Asian immigrants, and yet, they are not any right. Migration was a contentious issue in debates prelimares of the U.S. elections but the weight of the economic crisis overshadowed the issue downgrading. There are two facts on which a journalist has to smell.

The role of journalists in the new world communication order is essential. So says Joseph Benitez, RNE Foreign journalist who uses his full speaking time to talk about the profession: "Journalism is journalism when you have something have to be made of general interest. It should be a criterion to interpret facts and no viable way to decorate the information. When in doubt should be release soon. " Before the debate of whether those who write blogs are journalists, Josefa is emphatic: "No. The media have lost credibility ... why? You have to ask. People want to know. The citizen search the Internet to their point of view, critique, etc. The international media when it comes to the Iraq war, we repeated the same images, and tell us 'Alyasira' is the opposite of CNN but we do not contribute anything. Business and politics are very mixed and do journalism. "

Benitez's words caused several reactions among future journalists attending the conference. Most of his interventions are in the same direction: we want to change the world but no work.
