Trapped Miners


The news of 33 miners trapped in the mine "San José", 700 meters of depht, in the northern part of the country, since August 5th cause a big impact to all Chilean population. After having no hope of finding alive, on August 22 were able to establish communication with them, and eas know that the 33 they were alive inside a refuge of the mine.
It was really surprising and exciting for all to know about the survival of these mens. But in my opinion, one of the things that more stands out in this news is the little respect that has had toward the miners. Since it became known that they were alive, the mass media have not stopped reporting things that have no relevance, such what they had lunch in a day, the play that was sent them or private messages that send miners to their families.
This situation shows the little respect that has to the private life, especially on this delicate theme, as both these mens and their families are in a sensitive state and last thing they need is to be hounded by the press. I would like the news has focused on the issue of poor quality found mines of our country and the poor condition of workers.
Finally, this news has been transformed into a circus where the miners are treaties like the participants of a "reality show", without to have elected to participate in it.
