Not enough!

Mass media is also a mass OF media. That there are media everywhere we look and don’t look is no news. Sometimes it gets really annoying to have a 24/7 full media coverage over a topic that does seem important to some of us, but not to most of us. Or to receive breaking news that are not that big of a deal (I remember canceling my CNN Breaking News E-Mail alert after having received the ultimate breaking news that George W. chocked on a pretzel…).

Anyway. Have you ever felt you just don’t get enough media coverage? Probably not. You might have experienced not getting a story about a topic you really cared fore.
And this is where I come in. That’s exactly my problem right now and might remain until end of June.
Here’s the deal: This summer, the worlds second largest Soccer event takes place, it’s called "EURO 08".
The Euro is the soccer championship among 16 European soccer teams competing in 4 groups. If your are just a little bit of a soccer fan, you know what I am talking about. This years tournament (it’s held every 4 years) will take place in Switzerland and Austria. And as you might have learned from my former blog posts: I am Swiss…
Very bitter to have a huge event taking place in your country – and you’re not there. But even worse is the fact that I haven’t found a TV channel yet that will broadcast the games!

So what I want to point out: Even if we have so much news coverage from around the world at every single minute of the day – there are still gaps, large gaps! At least in my book… Not sure if anyone shares this, but I would say you just can’t have enough media coverage.

P.S. If anyone has an idea where I could see a live stream of the games, please let me know…
