On Media Freedom and Responsibility
i would just like to comment on the arrests of the cagayan de
oro journalists. i come from that place, and i have listened to radio
commentaries ever since i was young. i say some broadcast journalists
there are irresponsible, if things hadn't changed in the year that
i
was gone (i am studying away from home). they exaggerate their opinions;
they sometimes divert from the facts. i mean, one can expose the wrongdoings
of an official, but in the right way. often, the official's personal
life was touched, even those beyond public concern. private lives
are shred menacingly. they talk of getting all sides of the story,
but often, when they get an issue, they start opening their mouths.
there was also this one time before when two radio stations dxIF
and dxCo (i think i must mention) were fighting on air. it took days,
or maybe even weeks, i can't remember anymore. i must say that the
words uttered were bad, really bad. and i was just in high school
then. the two have long been rivals, but i am not sure if they are
friends now.
now, was that being responsible?
the media is supposed to help solve society's problems, not to sensationalize
and not to compete, and if ever they should, should do so off-air.
i must say that i don't look up to journalists in cagayan de oro,
radio journalists at least.
i don't say though, that journalists should protect the city leaders.
what i only want to say is for them to be more responsible. do not
exaggerate. do not sensationalize. do not swear on-air.
i am now a journalism student and i so want a free press, but i also
believe that with great power comes great responsibility.
i hope this feedback could reach them.
thank you and more power.

Thanks for your letter. We will forward
it to the PinoyPress site of Carlos Conde, a Mindanao-based journalist.

Ang Totoong Mahalaga
Ang kasalukuyang sistema ng lipunan ay masyado ng nakababahala.
Hindi na usapin dito sa kung sino ba ang kailangang manatili sa pwesto,
o kung sino man ang kailangang maluklok sa darating na halalan. Kahit
na sino pa man ang nakaupo, ang puspusang
pagdausdos paibaba ng ating pamumuhay ay hindi na mababago. Ang kinakailangang
pagbabago ay kailangang magsimula sa ibaba pataas.

Hmmm, parang spaghetting pababa, pababa
nang pababa? Hehehe. Joke lang. Salamat sa pagsulat. --Ederic
