  • What happened to journalism

    If you feel that you are getting tired of the #news, you are not alone. But what happened? Today I explain to you how the #media decayed thanks to social media

    =====

    They promised us a society of information, not knowledge, and they were right to make that distinction.

    At the end of 1999, the excitement of Internet 2.0 was palpable. A digital space where “everybody can publish whatever they want” sounded fantastic and fair. However, it seems that the tools are amazing, but we are not ready for them. The revival of flat-earthers or holocaust deniers are only the most loudly examples of it.

  • Interviewing a Thief

    Working as an undercover and special investigations #journalist gives you a different perspective on the profession. Sometimes you must lie to bring out the #truth. This is the story of one of those times, the time I went out into the streets in search of a #thief to make his story known

  • Cultural Shock in Denmark
    I tell you my cultural shock experience in Denmark as a Mexican. I give you some facts and statistics as well as some thoughts about it.
    =====
    The first time I went to Europe I stayed practically for a whole year in Aarhus, a Danish city on the Jutland peninsula’s east coast. Although I have heard about cultural shock and people at the Aarhus University warned us about it, I did not pay too much attention to it while I was there. Now, in retrospect. I realize that I may have experienced it more than I thought.

  • Is the US woke military a bad thing?

    A review of the implementation of woke culture by the US military


    =====


    2021 brought a new mentality to the US military. What can be described as woke culture has, in a way, taking over. Wokeness is hard to describe, and it is even harder to dissociate from political ideologies. Although it has its roots in a sense of awareness about racial prejudice, discrimination, and social inequality; now it is something that you can identify when you see it, but you cannot quite explain. Social justice warriors and political correctness are some of its representations.

  • Tales from the Newsroom - Narco Christmas

    Hello and Welcome to Juan Around. We have an episode of Tales from the Newsroom. Stories based on real experiences and published articles during my time as a journalist. Now, we have the story: Narco Christmas.


    =====


    I remember it was a Monday. I remember because I opened a new bottle of Daniels, which used to happen every first day of the week.

    The year was 2011, so working as a journalist was a little bit more than checking Twitter besides our phones were shitty pieces of plastic with one or two functions and no more.

    One of such functions was, believe it or not, receiving calls. My photographer called me about a new "muertito", another dead found almost outside of the city. 7 am, damn, fuck you, Sergio. Then again, death sells.

  • The challenge of staying still

    No guest today. It is a little difficult to find someone that speaks English to talk about Mexico, especially during the pandemic. Today I am in Mexico, in a city called Cuernavaca, and I go around the challenges of staying still or the advantages of being a nomad if you like. Enjoy it!

  • How dangerous is Mexico?

    Most of the people relate danger, specifically if they think in Mexico, with violence so let's focus on that specific type of danger: violence. How much violence can you face if you travel to Mexico but more important, and that is what is this podcast about, what is the reality behind the tourist zones, the margaritas, and the parties. How real Mexicans live this violence?

      • The 15-thousand-dollar watch

        Mexico is full of stories. Sadly, many about violence. I arrived in Mexico less than a month ago and a friend told me a story that makes me think about my country's problems on a deeper level.

        The story is about a guy that got married. As part of the tradition in rich Mexican families, the bride gives to the groom a new watch so, in the case of this guy, it was a 15-thousand-dollar watch. He went on his honeymoon with a beautiful and expensive watch on his wrist and he came back without it, two guys robed him.

        This episode is not about the violence in Mexico (that episode will come later this season), this episode is about something more complex: Why we like expensive shit?!
