Democracy depends on Journalism Fri Jun 01, 2007 6:42 am  Democracy depends on Journalism
 

Hi

Do you agree that "Democracy depends on Journalism"?? Democracy means people power and Journalism is to bring messages from the government to the people and vice versa for transparency (trust) and accuracy in order for the people to have clear images of whom they want to be their leaders .

What do you think about this? Could you please share your ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Rosalisa,

I think the level of democracy in any given country depends on how much the people in that country are interested in democracy. For example, there are countries where the vast majority of people don't have access to basic life necessities such as food, running water, electricity, medical care, etc. It's very unlikely that those people would know much about democracy let alone fight for it.

You raised a very good point, Torsen. But let's see, that's why journalism plays a very important role in bring light to all of those people. I have to see what has caused them into this present state. We realize that they don't have information to decide by themselves. A lot of countries now have a trend toward democracy and this is the journalism's essensial duty really to help those people who are in need when they need somebody to explain them that they have their own rights to choose the government who can ensure their needs.
