Thinking about Eurovision or thinking about staying alive

TV look. Spectator gaze glued to the screen. News chosen by the chains as the most importantthe first, the one that has merited the start of the televised news at noon, Sunday, May 15.

In TVE-1 They have selected to open the ‘Telediario’ that moment when they shouted «Spain, Spain, Spain!» the representatives of countries that have given the maximum score to the song of TVE-Spain. For ‘Informative T-5‘ Y ‘The Sixth News‘ the picture of chanell has been the priority. In ‘A-3TV News‘ and in the string Four (‘Cuatro Al Día’) the first thing they highlighted was the victory of the Kalush group from Ukrainethe winners of the contest.

For him ‘TN migdia‘ (TV-3) the first image was a demonstration by neighbors in Puigcerdà against the Winter Games; the second, that Finland is getting closer to NATO; the third that the CNI may also have spied on Ada Colau and Ernest ‘Tete’ Maragall; the fourth that the shops will open on Sunday; the fifth the massacre in the US town of Buffalo; and the sixth «Chanel, a meritorious third place». It is the valuation of the chains about the news they thought was the most important. He left to their discretion what they consider most successful.

Parallel to the splendor of great choreographic ‘show’, with musical highlights, which has been this European Broadcasting Union (UER) Chain Festival, I have seen two images, two momentsof a emotional impact deep draft. One has been this Sunday morning when many chains have launched the video clip of the winning theme, from the Ukraine group. A woman wearing a helmet walks through the devastation of the bombs. She has a girl hugged around her neck, terrified. And she listens to the song «The field blooms but it is gray, and you are full of gray hair. Sing me a lullaby, Mama Stefanía, sing it to me».
