Alisa Miller

The world audience is getting a lesser and lesser amount of real world news as times change.

Alisa Miller may not be known to all people, but she is one that should be known. Miler is the CEO and President of Public Radio International. In her latest focus of global news programming Miller brings up many thoughts to the public in a past speech.

In February 2008, Miller held a speech for the TED audience in Monterrey, Calif. She asked "how does the news shape the way we see the world?" In recent years the new coverage of events have decreased the coverage of worldly news and had an increase in the coverage of celebrity gossip and scandals. Miller provided the numbers of the death of Anna Nicole Smith vs. the IPCC report (Smith receiving ten-times the amount).

Why is that? Covering celebrity and popular news is is said to be cheaper. The US makes up 79 percent of the worlds news. Miller wonders and questions why the world news is just not being seen.

These days college graduates and those of lesser education are not being able to see and learn about the world as those who did 20 years ago.

" the real question is this: is distorted world view what we want for Americans in our increasingly connected world i know we can do better and can we afford not to" States Miller.
