The Loneliness of Crossing Impassable Paths

The article expresses strong concern about the way the media presents criminal events, considering it excessive and morbid. The author argues that the constant exposure to violence and crime fuels insecurity, racism, and xenophobia, rather than contributing to genuine information. It highlights the contradiction between the verbal condemnation of crime and the lack of substantial measures to address it, especially in prisons where organized crime thrives. The importance of journalistic ethics and responsible reporting is emphasized, which should focus on the essence of events and not on gossip and morbid curiosity. Finally, it is noted that excessive preoccupation with criminal events does not affect the perpetrators, but only society as a whole.
