This is the Conversation Forum for Why are People Interested in News? << intensity Subject: A couple more for the reading list Posted Dec 3, 2000 by purplejenny   Posting 1 for a different perspective on the news, try 'Hidden Agendas' by John Pilger, and 'Manufacturing Consent' by Chomskey. I watch the news to find out whats happening on the planet. I'm not very interested in 'personality' type news, cos my mates are much more interesting to gossip about. The news should tell us the facts so that we can collectivley make informed decisions about the future, I reckon. purplejenny Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A couple more for the reading list Posted Dec 3, 2000 by punychicken, Patron saint of Insomniac Truthseekers and Keeper of All Things Moist and Some Things Lilac This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 hello, facts you say.... and that we should be told them. How will these little morsels of information be delivered? Well, how a fact is interpreted relies on its postioning and context. But I know what you mean having read manufacturing consent too. Just being pointless. Another one of his is necessary illusions (but that might already have been mentioned someplace else. I have just stumbled upon this!). As for personality news... it can go off somewhere and have a crisis or photo shoot or something... :o) Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
