Truth about News around Globe 0

Do you ever feel that everything happens for a cause? Even the darkest hours were made so that we know how it looks like when the sun shines. You might have realized that different newsmakers create slightly or dramatically different stories about the same event. The journalist’s background, his or her frame of reference and field of experience, shifted through the lens of his or her editor (who captures the ideology of the news media owner), affect the way a story is written and published. Marshall McLuhan once said that the medium is the message, and once you know how the news-making process happens, you know that what he said has some truth in it. Perhaps Hitler did the Jews a favor and perhaps Marx had a reason for his anti-capitalism point of view. Who knows?

Well, thanks to the invention of the internet, now we can get historical facts from different sources without leaving the comfort of our living room/ study room. Since you have access to thousands of sources, it is up to you to decide which fact is true and which is not, crosscheck one detail with another source and re-check the result by doing a short research. One website that aims to provide news and information about global events, with alternative point of views is AltraPoint. The website represents alternative ways of thinking and perception on various topics, related different aspects of human life, including economy, history, philosophy, and policy.

If you are interested in reading news on international affairs, economy tendencies, wars, military affairs, and other topics that popular media might not be able to cover truthfully, you might want to check out the website and read the articles that interest you, and decide whether you agree with it or not. As the late Steve Jobs once advised Stanford graduates, stay hungry, stay foolish. Therefore, you will eventually come up with a balanced truth about many happenings in life.
