Coming to terms (with the blogs, I follow!)

The two blogs that I am following are “Borderland Beat”, which gives the American perspective on narcotic drug trafficking in Mexico and “El Blog del Narco”, which gives the Mexican perspective on the events of narcotic drug trafficking in Mexico. Both blogs have multiple authors, who are reporters who write stories on the horrific happenings due to violence and narcotic drug trafficking in Mexico. The “Borderland Beat” blog intends to inform the world of the terrible events occurring in Mexico in an unbiased manner, intending to show no involvement from the U.S. They intend to only state facts. In this blog, the pictures are much more gruesome and graphic than they are in the Mexican blog, “El blog del Narco”. They also include videos from Mexican news broadcasts. The “Borderland Beat” has sort of a C.S.I, cop-feel to it. “El blog del Narco” on the other hand, has a more concerning vibe to it. Obviously, since it is from the Mexican perspective, it shows its concern for its people and it’s citizens. Indeed, it addresses all of the horrible occurrences due to narcotic drug trafficking, but it also addresses the affects that these tragedies have had on the people of Mexico, such as children, the indigenous population, etc. Its purpose is to create a conscience and a sense of concern within the Mexican people, hoping to spark a turn for change. “El Blog del Narco,” is quicker to admit U.S involvement in narcotic drug trafficking, than “Borderland Beat”.
