Alisa Miller on Global News 2.0

How the news shapes the way we see the world, and why Americans seem to know less and less about the world around them and their many connections to it.

We have the right to know wats goin on around us I'm always interested in the news but ours never seem to finish wat they start they had a article about 8 soldiers being buried in one grave but that's all this is something serious could it be that more soldiers are dyin in Iraq then we know about I would like to get some kind of closure to this

People don't believe in global warming anymore, and why should a network dedicate time to a communistic prosject which 'global warming' politics allways is about?

Russian news is impressive.They talk fast and focused on every subject and category being talked about all over the world, not just a fraction, including daily actions of the PM's motives.Who wouldn't want to know what thier PM is doing on a daily basis? and ofcourse his accomplishments. Whereas, unlike i.e the UK news, they talk simple-mindedly and towards unecessary celebrity garbage that is heavily elongated, similarly to the US. whats the point! it destroys a sense of scholary.

the news completely ignored afghanistan from 2003 to late 2008. but after iraq started to die down and the steady flow of caskets stopped, suddenly afghanistan was the only thing to talk about. americans are fucking disgusting.

and yet we still have onesided information. we think it's better because we don't know any better. do you remember the murder of pim fortuyn and theo van gogh? can you remember that for weeks the news kept showing it? or more recent; joran.... it's better than the US, but how much? everybody allways forgets to look at themselves

I am living in the Netherlands. Things are a lot better over here!. We do look outside our own borders. On the other hand, we have to because we are so small -:)

and also leading fellow relatives and friends whom i've persuaded to also take a listen to PRI, and open a whole new door intellectually in their lives

i congratulate this video. after watching this video maybe half a year ago, i started listening to public radio international, particuarly "the world". It opened up a whole new spectrum of international news that i yearned for, but never knew was there. PRI then led to all other kinds of public radio, and then finally the big one...the BBC. I would say i am now more globally informed than i was 6 months ago. Thanks PRI for leading me down this road...
