Hello everyone!
Journalism is very important as a historical record and as an expression for society.
However, if used in a bad way it could limit the freedom of individuals and society. Many totalitarian governments try to instill censorship or negative ideas through the media (radio, newspapers or television) to manipulate people. Also, in some cases the press is used to clean the image of corrupt characters.
Nowadays, fake news has taken over social networks, misinforming people in different areas. The most popular at the moment is the Covid-19 vaccine.
A society cannot be free if it does not know the true reality.
As a future journalist I would like to promote the freedom of people and societies to build a better place. With my work and journalistic activity I want to promote change day by day. Future generations will know about us through the records left by television, radio, newspapers, reports and books.
A good journalistic activity helps the population to detect the faults of the society in which they live, to be able to show them freely and change them.
Hi Isa! Our vision of journalism is the same, I agree with everything you wrote. I hope that when we graduate we can build that better society we want so much.
ResponderEliminarHi Isabella,
ResponderEliminarI hope you are OK. Without a doubt the fake news is the biggest danger that society currently has, and journalism has the responsibility to clarify when false information is broadcast on social media. Lives can be saved!
