We quiver in our seats and chew our finger nails out of concern, impatiently waiting for news. Journalists, who’s mission is to redefine and improve journalism, in the interest of audiences whose right it is to receive proper, tested and verified information, and whose role it is to inform the public, representing the people within a society and acting as watchdogs.
An essential part of democracy is freedom of speech, with the extremely large number of voices in our society, therefore we as gate-keepers should provide a full opportunity for the society to inquire, question, exchange ideas and experience the responsibility and rights of a free press. “For to be free isn’t merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others”, Nelson Mandela.
As Martin Luther King jnr says, “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”…so allow me to be your messenger, as it is my duty as a future journalist to break off the chains of slavery, freeing the future and to witness the history.
We can’t become what we need to be by remaining silent, for we are the change that we seek… SPEAK! feel free to voice your opinion.
Welcome to existence!
