Danny Jones Recounts Terrifying I'm A Celebrity Camp Incident
2024-12-09
Danny Jones, the renowned McFly star, has bravely shared a harrowing experience from his time in camp. The weather turned extremely bad on several occasions, leading to their evacuation not once but twice. They were forced to take shelter in the Bush Telegraph, enduring cramped and boiling-hot conditions with 12 of them close together. The relentless rain also brought an unwelcome guest - leeches. Danny was constantly on leech check, a daily battle against these pesky creatures.

Real Camaraderie Amidst Atrocious Weather

During this challenging time, there was a remarkable sense of camaraderie among the contestants. The record rainfall that hit the camp brought them closer together. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Danny opened up about the storm and also talked about being reunited with his wife Georgia and son Cooper in camp.The moment he saw Cooper's little smile and excited face was truly a beautiful one. It was pure love and emotion. Going into I'm a Celebrity, Danny's focus was to make Cooper proud, and it was evident from their conversation that he had achieved just that. Cooper had even been trying to imitate his dad on TV by creating his own Bushtucker trials at home.

Lockdown and Long Separation

In addition to the three weeks in camp, Danny was on lockdown without his phone for a further week. This was a long time away from Georgia and Cooper. Even during their tours, they usually came home on weekends. But this time, there was no contact for a whole month. Georgia was overjoyed to see her husband again. She expressed her pride in him, and Danny couldn't hold back his tears. It was a moment that kept him going through the testing times.

Dealing with Anxiety and Emotional Outbursts

Danny has also been open about his struggles with anxiety. He started therapy at 19 years old after his dad left home. During his time in I'm a Celebrity, it all became too much at one point, but he was comforted by Tulisa Contostavlos and Oti Mabuse. His McFly bandmates also showed their emotions. When he Face-Timed Dougie Poynter shortly after leaving camp, Dougie was left in tears by his victory. Dougie's words, "Mate, I'm so proud of my best mate, and every time I watched you, I just had tears in my eyes," were an extra special moment. Coming from Dougie, who won the same show 13 years ago, meant a lot.They don't usually talk like that in their everyday lives, but in that moment, it was incredible. On the way back in the stretch hummer from camp to his hotel, Danny watched video messages from his other bandmates. Dougie was awake as he was in the Bahamas, while the other boys had done little videos online for him. Tom said, "We love you to bits…we're so proud of you."Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Threads.

Jacaranda Correa: Los medios públicos y su papel en la información
2024-12-09
Jacaranda Correa, con más de dos décadas de experiencia en el periodismo, ha marcado una huella importante en el panorama de los medios públicos. Su compromiso con un periodismo ético le ha permitido ofrecer a las audiencias un espacio para la reflexión, donde se abordan los grandes desafíos que enfrenta la sociedad actual.

La Crítica y la Innovación en los Medios Públicos

En entrevista, Jacaranda Correa comparte su visión sobre la crucial función de los medios públicos. Ella destaca la necesidad de un periodismo que no censure y que cuestione al poder, priorizando las necesidades e intereses de la ciudadanía.

Antes de iniciar el mileno, Jacaranda comenzó un periplo en los medios audiovisuales públicos, con programas innovadores como “Ventana de media noche”, “Espacio alterno” y “El rotativo”. Esta travesía ha durado más tiempo que Ulises en la Odisea, y ella no quiere dejar el viaje. Actualmente, dirige “Debate 22” en Canal 22 y es profesora en la Escuela de Periodismo Carlos Septién, además de ser coordinadora de la Cátedra Miguel Ángel Granados Chapa en la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Unidad Cuajimalpa.

Jacaranda enfatiza la importancia de un periodismo de investigación innovador y creativo. En los medios públicos, es fundamental retomar la esencia de generar contenidos diferentes a la televisión comercial. Por ejemplo, “El rotativo” fue un programa que innovó en su formato, creando la primera televisión pública interactiva en 2007.

La Diferencia entre Medios Públicos y Hegemónicos

Cuando se pregunta sobre la diferencia entre un periodista de un medio público y un periodista de los medios hegemónicos, Jacaranda responde que no es necesario ser un periodista militante en el sentido de no cuestionar al gobierno. Puede ser activista de causas como el feminismo o la defensa de los territorios, y desde ese lugar, defender la sociedad.

En tiempos pasados, se discutió si los medios públicos debían ser oficialistas o no. Durante el PAN, hubo cierta libertad, pero probablemente estaba vinculado con los medios comerciales. Con el regreso del PRI, la censura se impuso, como en el caso de Ayotzinapa y Carmen Aristegui. Con MORENA, ha cambiado, y ahora se debe reflexionar sobre la función de los medios públicos en estos tiempos.

La Tarea de los Medios Públicos en la Transición

En un momento de transición, los medios públicos deben acercarse a las audiencias y lograr mecanismos de diálogo y participación. No solo criticar, sino defender a sus medios.

El gran reto es cómo hacer que las audiencias sepan que los medios se deben a ellos y que deben exigir sus derechos. Las redes sociales han fragmentado las audiencias, y los medios públicos deben encontrar formas de competir. Además, debe mejorar la calidad audiovisual abriendo las puertas a la producción independiente.

Innovar Formatos en la Televisión

Jacaranda pregunta si solo existen mesas redondas de debate en la televisión. Debe existir más variedad, como reportajes documentales, crónicas audiovisuales y documentales.

En “El Rotativo”, logramos construir un formato diferente, como el primer periódico para la televisión. Abriamos un tema y lo mirabamos desde distintos ángulos. Hay que cuestionarse cómo construimos nuevos programas que den apertura al periodismo de investigación y cultural.

La Cultura Juvenil y el Periodismo

En la Cátedra Granados Chapa, Jacaranda ve la importancia de la cultura juvenil. En el Carlos Septién, hizo un ejercicio con la primera generación que titula, mostrando que las juventudes pueden estar interesadas en la televisión cultural.

Hay que entusiasmar a las jóvenes y trabajar en especialidades como Medios públicos, innovación y creatividad. La labor periodística de Jacaranda se ha consolidado como un referente, pero el panorama de los medios públicos no es alentador. El próximo año, el SPR enfrentará un recorte drástico, lo que podría comprometer el contenido.
