And when we take out the U.S. and look at the remainingyang tersisa 21 percentpersen,

5000
Dan kalau kita keluarkan AS
dan lihat 21% sisanya,
01:27
we see a lot of IraqIrak -- that's that bigbesar greenhijau thing there -- and little elselain.

When we analyzeddianalisis all the newsberita storiescerita and removeddihapus just one storycerita,

6000
Ketika kita menganalisa berita dan
mengeluarkan satu berita saja,
01:48
here'sini how the worlddunia lookedtampak.

2000
beginilah tampilannya.
01:50
What was that storycerita? The deathkematian of AnnaAnna NicoleNicole SmithSmith.

Apa itu? Meninggalnya Anna Nicole Smith.
01:57

daripada laporan IPCC.
02:06
And the cyclesiklus continuesterus berlanjut;
18

Dan siklus ini berlanjut;
seperti yang kita tahu,
Britney cukup banyak disorot belakangan.
02:08
as we all know, BritneyBritney has loomedMenjulang prettycantik largebesar latelybelakangan ini.
19

3000
02:11
So, why don't we hearmendengar more about the worlddunia?
20
113000
3000
Jadi, kenapa kita tidak mendengar lebih
banyak tentang dunia?
02:14
One reasonalasan is that newsberita networksjaringan have reduceddikurangi the numberjumlah of theirmereka foreignasing bureausBiro by halfsetengah.
21
116000
6000
Salah satu alasannya adalah stasiun berita
mengurangi setengah dari biro luar negeri.

22

02:43
The realityrealitas is that coveringpenutup BritneyBritney is cheaperlebih murah.
25

Kenyataannya adalah meliput Britney
lebih murah.
02:48
And this lackkekurangan of globalglobal coveragecakupan is all the more disturbingmengganggu
26
150000
3000
Dan minimnya liputan berita global ini
sangat mengganggu
02:51
when we see where people go for newsberita.
27

2000
ketika kita lihat sumber berita alternatif
02:54
LocalLokal TVTV newsberita loomsalat tenun largebesar,
28
156000

Berita TV lokal adalah yang terbesar,
02:58
and unfortunatelysayangnya only dedicatesmendedikasikan 12 percentpersen of its coveragecakupan to internationalinternasional newsberita.
29
160000
4000
dan sayangnya hanya 12% liputannya
menyoroti berita internasional.
03:03
And what about the webweb?
30
165000
2000
Dan bagaimana dengan internet?
03:05
The mostpaling popularpopuler newsberita sitessitus don't do much better.
31
167000
4000
Situs media yang populer juga tidak
lebih baik.
03:09
Last yeartahun, PewPew and the ColombiaKolombia J-SchoolJ-sekolah analyzeddianalisis the 14,000 storiescerita
32

Tahun lalu, Pew dan Columbia J-School

03:17
And they, in factfakta, coveredtertutupi the samesama 24 newsberita eventsacara.
34
179000
4000
Dan ternyata, mereka meliput
24 berita yang sama.
03:21
SimilarlyDemikian pula, a studybelajar in e-contente-konten showedmenunjukkan that much of globalglobal newsberita from U.S. newsberita creatorspencipta
35
183000
5000
Sebuah studi serupa juga menunjukkan bahwa
kebanyakan berita internasional di AS
03:26
is recycleddidaur ulang storiescerita from the APAP wirekawat servicesjasa and ReutersReuters,

03:30
and don't put things into a contextkonteks that people can understandmemahami theirmereka connectionkoneksi to it.
37
192000
4000
dan tidak memberikan konteks yang benar
sehingga orang dapat mengerti hubungannya.
03:34
So, if you put it all togetherbersama, this could help explainmenjelaskan why today'shari ini collegeperguruan tinggi graduateslulusan,
38
196000
5000
Jadi, kalau digabung, ini menjelaskan
kenapa lulusan universitas sekarang
03:39
as well as lesskurang educatedberpendidikan AmericansAmerika,
39
201000
2000
dan orang Amerika yang tidak
sekolah tinggi,
03:41
know lesskurang about the worlddunia than theirmereka counterpartsrekan-rekan did 20 yearstahun agolalu.
40
203000
3000
tahu lebih sedikit tentang dunia
dibanding 20 tahun lalu.
03:44
And if you think it's simplysecara sederhana because we are not interestedtertarik,
41
206000
6000
Dan jika Anda pikir itu hanya karena kita
tidak tertarik,
03:50
you would be wrongsalah.
42
212000
2000
Anda salah.
03:52
In recentbaru yearstahun, AmericansAmerika who say they closelyrapat followmengikuti globalglobal newsberita mostpaling of the time

Dewasa ini, orang Amerika yang mengatakan
mereka mengikuti berita dunia

04:01
The realnyata questionpertanyaan: is this distortedterdistorsi worldviewpandangan dunia what we want for AmericansAmerika
45

Pertanyaan sebenarnya adalah: apakah ini
yang kita ingin dilihat Amerika

04:12
I know we can do better.
