Every journalist has given the right to reveal the truth to the masses. Journalists are
given an opportunity to be influential and eye-opener to the country it serves and even
to the whole world, but this opportunity comes with great responsibility can sometimes
bring danger. But whatever ups and downs a journalist will encounter, he/she must
remain truthful and responsible transmitter of information.
Despite the conflicts and trials in journalism, it still flourishes and keeping its best
to give factual and unbiased information to the public in whatever platform journalists
and media companies could use. They are giving the masses the truth that came from
authentic sources of information. However, sometimes they are caught between the
need to tell the truth and the desire to live but a journalist must keep giving what the
public should receive, not only because it is their virtue but also their solemn obligation
to the people.
“Our liberty depends on the freedom of press, and that cannot be limited without
being lost.” By means of journalism, the public can be manipulated as they trust
journalists even more that the government. Thus, it is best that journalism should
remain faithful to their duty and never allow anyone to control them. Because the
moment they surrender their freedom, they will not be the only victims but also the
public. So I think, it should not always be the public that benefits from journalism, the
latter also needs the support of the public as its supporting foundation. They should
work together to retain the freedom of press in our country and to avoid history to repeat
itself.
