The reason to be faithful to the 'Telediario': the difference of informing with high beams

The reporter Silvia Guerra appears on the

on the streets of Tehran, with a veil that partially covers her hair and falls back, to recount life in the Iranian capital after the fiercely repressed protests.

We see, one after another, the heroines who walk with their hair loose, one of those revolutionary gestures that change a society forever.

A teenager tells him: "I have never worn a veil", although it is compulsory since the age of nine.

Guerra's is sliding and in the final shot it does not seem to cover more than her neck.

Another uncovered woman passes behind her: she secretly puts on her scarf when she realizes that she is in front of a camera.

In Iran, women took to the streets en masse after the death of Mahsa Amini, the young woman who died in police stations after being arrested for how she was wearing the veil.

Today there are many women who continue to challenge the regime.

A certain television, like a certain press, is distinguished because it knows how to look outside, away from our low-beam politicking.

A certain audience is also distinguished by that.

On the opposite side, there are people who are not interested in the rest of the world.

They are those who respond to any journalist's tweet about what is happening in Iran, Ukraine, the US or Somalia: "And why don't you say anything about Irene Montero?"

You can live behind the rest of the planet, yes, discussing not what happens in Spain, but within the M-30.

But that way you don't understand anything, neither what happens here.

Telling the world, of course, is only within the reach of large media, those who bet on a good deployment of correspondents.

And another element is needed: sensitivity.

It is a good reason to remain faithful to the

(and certain newspapers).

In the one of the three, Alejandra Herranz takes hold, on the site of the historic Ana Blanco;

at night she sends Carlos Franganillo.

They both know how to put on the high beams, not be blinded by the here and now.

In the same

, other women and men report from the rubble of Turkey, or Ukraine, from the European capitals, Beijing or Washington.

This is why public television is worth it.

And read certain newspapers.
