João César das Neves on the importance of international news

University professor João César das Neves asks in the daily Diário de Notícias how relevant international news really is for our lives: "Our forefathers were better informed about the things that are really important than we are today. In the past we lived in small villages and everyone knew all there was to know about everything and everyone. ... Today, with our urban anonymity ... our knowledge of the things that really affect us has become minimal. But we know all about things that are totally irrelevant for us. Wars and election campaigns thousands of kilometres away, suspicions and a plethora of disasters form part of our daily information diet. The US president has less influence on our daily lives that the local deputy mayor, yet for months we followed the campaign that led to Barack Obama's election, while we probably don't even know the name of our local deputy mayor. ... Our interest in news is not necessarily the result of a thirst for knowledge, but of a need for entertainment. Reality is boring and complicated. This is why mankind invented myths, legends and epics. ... The information age has solved the problem. There is always something exciting happening somewhere in the world. News reflects reality and is entertaining at the same time, even though most of the time it's irrelevant for us. ... But it makes us feel very important and intelligent to talk about such international subjects."
