Family Murdered! Husband killed his wife! Car nap gang strike again! These are some of the headlines that are present in our papers and news events. I wonder why is the topic always like this? Is it because it is the kind that sells? Or it is sensational and the public loves this kind of news?
Is this the thing they call responsible news casting? Probably, maybe because this is the real deal that’s happening in our country today but don’t you think this is too much? Almost everyday this is the kind of news that coming out of their mind. I, myself, am fed up with this kind of news. Always the negative news and very minimal positive points that is happening in our environment. I couldn’t blame the foreign investors why they don’t want to invest here in our poor country. It is because of this degrading news that’s why they are hesitating.
Come to think of it, this is also the kind of news that is being launch in TFC and other Filipino channel abroad. Therefore even the common individuals abroad can access this news.
I think media has one of the most important role in our society. They have the power to beautify one’s image or even ruin it if they want to. For me, it's unfair to broadcast this news most of time for the Filipino people. I mean its ok to tell the people these things once in a while but too much of it can “spoil the broth”.
If you think deeper on the reason why other leaders are protesting in the current SEAGames today, I think it is due to the fact that bad things are happening in our country and these are being broadcast all over the world. Because of this, negative connotation is being attached to Filipino people and that’s very unfair for us.
Journalism has a gives big powers, and with power comes great responsibility
