let us understand this
subject of digestion.
Information is collected, digested and disseminated. Digested means "can somebody
read it?" Now actually it's done by the
news services. The radio gives you the events in rapid
fire and then gives you the embroidery of the
event. The first thing you hear, the captions and so on is in
actual fact the
digest of the
information. Now they might have a 50,000
word news story but it is
given in a couple of sentences.
