“The problem with TV is not of content but of narratives and formats: smarter than either television, if you do not mind, if not entertaining, if not close to the popular formats and people, is a TV that no one sees, that nobody challenges and nobody is, “says Omar Rincon. Colombia has an extensive academic curriculum, with CINDE MA in education, Master of Arts at SUNY and film studies at NYU. And despite his academic role, he believes the role is not to educate TV viewers.
“The case of the Chilean public television is a bit different because it is public, although it seems private,” he says about the Chilean case. “But it’s like the Latin American public TV have an obligation to educate and culturizar, but that is the Ministries of Culture and Education. The TV has to do it first entertaining television and then diversify accounts and presences, “says the academic, who next week will attend a seminar on the subject in our country. He goes further: “I think the educational and cultural television has too many documentaries, news programs and interviews and lack fiction and entertainment formats.”
Rincón believes that learning is the basic responsibility of formal education, but that is not the case in all areas, “To understand the model of society, country, public ethics and the type of collective citizenship a society intended, that the media and television are extremely important, because they show these models. ” And it is here that speaks of their country and how it is viewed, “In Colombia we say we are a country that is not drug, but we do more of this type is fiction. That of narcolombia is not something the Colombians say, but we export this model of society. ” In the local case, he said that educational television is seeing more Chileans, including minorities, on the screen.
Anyway, think you may be learning unexpectedly. “In Colombia we are a coffee country, but only thanks to Cafe con aroma de mujer knew to be 7,000 ways to make coffee.” Or closer to Chile example, the boom of Turkish soap operas: “They have a new addition to the Latin popular sector which is great, because the ladies say ‘I’m learning from another culture, how is the Arab world’. This is the same as the Turks say when they see Mexican telenovelas “.
