Irresponsible or Silent Press

Journalists of today entails responsibilities as much as practitioners of other fields. Now-a-days, the media industry continues its revolution for innovative and modern broadcasting performing the four functions of communication which influences people of this world. Hence, there are also downfalls of this industry.

It is usual, in this field, that people commit violations and harm one another. Choosing between irresponsible and silent press creates a dilemma to future media practitioners. Personally, I would resort to being a silent press than being an irresponsible one.

Everyone has the right to remain silent at the right circumstances. Being a silent press doesn't mean that we are inefficiently practicing our field. Writers for travel and magazines is an example of a silent press, yet efficient.

We, as future media practitioners, should always bare communication ethics in everything we do and indulge with. It is not our name that we carry alone. Let's not forget that we represent everyone in the media industry. An act of deviation or violence of a practitioner will always be entailed to every practitioner in this world.
