The website I first thought was the portal of a chilean rock magazine called Rockaxis. This site is composed by different sections related to each kind of music like rock, metal, hard core, etcetera.  The main section is about news, that are usually regarding to new albums, latest shows, bands that break up or get back together.  Also it has other sections that lead to reviews, interviews, articles, podcasts and some chapters of the Rockaxis tv, and every month the physic version of the magazine is uploaded to the website so everyone can read it for free.

I like this website because it keeps me informed about everything that happens in the world of music, I visit it almost everyday, but mostly I like it because I can notice that the people who works in it feels really passionate for every subject they treat. Sometimes they can describe a song or a complete album in a very beautifully way, they talk about sensations, about intensity that music provides, and that is almost as good to read as literature.

Media Bias

I think that the media and journalists are in charge of what mostly society can think about all sorts of topics, so is a big power that lies son them, because they can mold public opinión in benefit of powerful groups, politics, etc. Now, in reference to the chilean news, I think that’s exactly what happens. Mostly in national tv we can see how reality is distorted towards the groups that control the country.

But in the other hand, also exists some journalists that are committed with the truth and objectivity. In internet we can find lots of portals dedicated to what is known as against-information, wich consist in reveal what has no room on tv, radio and news papers.

So I guess now thanks to new technologies, people has more access to information, we have more diversity, wich is important as Chimamanda Adichie said on her speech, to form a more complete point of view, that includes different edges.
