    Chile's

    Journalists

    Stop

    Writing

    Serious

    News

    Once Las Uhimas Noticias was considered a

    dull,

    old-fashioned

    newspaper. That

    all changed when

    LUN

    posted its newspaper

    online and added a

    page

    view counter that tells editors which stories

    are

    the

    most

    popular.

    Now LUN

    is

    Chile's

    most

    widely

    read newspaper.

    The

    newspaper's employees call

    it

    a

    revolution in

    journalism,

    but

    critics

    claim that

    the

    paper

    no longer covers

    "real

    news."

    Stories are

    ranked

    according to

    "clicks"

    and are

    updated every

    hour. Ifan

    article

    gets

    a

    lot

    ofclicks, the

    newspaper

    continues the story.

    If

    an article

    gets

    only a

    few clicks

    or no

    clicks at all, the story

    is removed.

    So

    what

    news

    did

    readers

    choose to click on when

    world

    leaders

    arrived

    in

    Santiago

    for

    an

    important

    trade summit meeting?

    "Light

    News"-one

    of the top

    stories was about where a US politician went to

    dinner

    and what

    he

    ate. Another popular story was about

    whlch politicians

    gave

    the

    best

    tips to waiters.

    Critics

    say

    that LUN no longer reports

    serious

    news.

    Augustine

    Edwards,

    the managing

    editor

    disagrees.

    Previously

    the

    journalists

    decided what

    stories appeared in the paper, but with Edward's new

    approach, the readers make the choices. He feels

    that

    the

    readers'

    choices

    are a

    reflection

    ofthe

    changing

    values and interests of

    Chileans.

    .

    It's

    good

    for advertising, too. At

    other

    newspapers,

    sales of

    advertisements are

    down,

    but not

    at

    LtlN.

    The newspaper

    has

    begun to

    have

    ads on its

    website

    that

    include

    animation,

    as

    well

    as

    actual TV

    commercials.

    One question

    remains.

    Only

    an estimated

    40o/o of the

    country has

    Internet

    access,

    and

    not

    all of

    themrcad

    LUN.

    So are the readert

    choices really a

    reflection of the

    changing values

    and

    interests

    of

    all

    the

    Chilean people?
