TED: How the news distorts our worldview - Alisa Miller

The video discusses how American media coverage is heavily skewed towards domestic news and sensational stories, such as celebrity events, at the expense of global issues. It highlights the reduction in foreign news bureaus and the limited international coverage by local TV and online news platforms. This lack of diverse news exposure contributes to a less informed public, despite a growing interest in global news. The video questions whether this distorted view is desirable in an interconnected world and suggests that better coverage is possible.
