What we are NOT
We are not current affairs. We do not pretend to follow the news in real time, we do not believe that our value is in the last minute. That is something that is already sufficiently covered by the conventional media. Our purpose is to flee from information noise and, to a great extent, from information short-termism.
We are not news. Journalism classes always teach that the news is not that a dog bites a man, but that a man bites a dog. And it can make sense in terms of clicks. The problem is that it can make us lose our understanding of the world around us. When was the last time you saw an oil tanker in a newspaper or on the news? Perhaps an unfortunate catastrophe? The blockage of a famous canal? Every day more than 2,000 tankers move around the world transporting oil without making the news when really these are the ships that affect our lives and make everything work. We want to tell you more about these things...
We are not only present. Sometimes we will also talk about things that have already happened and you will say: "hey, this is already known, it's not news". We believe that it is good to remember facts and situations that may seem too recent and well known, but that nevertheless due to the information noise end up being forgotten or rewritten.
