Shifla went to the produce market to do a report on the ample supplies of locally grown produce for sale. We thought that would also mean lower prices. But with oil at over $100 a barrel right now, the local growers are charging more to bring their produce to the city and passing it on to the consumer. So the prices are higher and there are few buyers. By the way, it's considered a man's job to go to the market.
We also visited the nearby fish market where fishermen spread out their catch in buckets and on the disinfected tile floor. We were getting soundbites for a story on a company that is selling a new, more powerful motor to help the boats get father out to sea to catch tuna. The fishermen said they couldn't possibly catch enough tuna to afford the gas. Again, shopping at the fish market is considered a man's job and we saw few women.
Everybody recognized Shifla and complimented her on the way in which she delivers the news. But some walked away muttering "TV Maumoon" or "propaganda." You don't have to speak Dhiveli to understand that the station has an image problem.
