DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF FALSE JOURNALISM

 
  The endeavor to maintain proper standard of fairness in journalism must be pursed.  It is fatally easy for the journalist to deviate from the straight path while writing a report.  There is this natural desire to make a story and insidious temptation to twist facts to square with his paper's policy.  Both are as indefensible as the framing of misleading headlines for the sake of effect;
they wants their story to hit the front page of newspapers.  The conscientious journalist must check any tendency to bias, and guard against the dangers inherent in personal antipathies or friendships, and in traditional opposition between rival schools of thought.  When a political opponent, whose stupidity habitually provokes attack, makes an effective speech, honesty requires that he be given credit for it.  Where personal relationships might make it easier and more congenial to keep silent than to criticize, the journalist must never forget his duty to the public and the supreme importance of recording the truth.
  It is heart-burning to wake up, pick different newspapers, and see that the reporting of a certain topic is contradictory.  The masses gets all the information wrong, thus, resulting to unnecessary argument between two parties/groups of people.  To be frank, the journalists are not helping issues; they make the whole thing complicated.  People may start wandering whether these facts are true.  Even the reports that are genuine may be taken as a false information.  Though there are some sincere, wholesome and trustworthy journalists who devote their time in research with the aim of feeding the public with genuine information, but they are been overshadowed by the unfair journalists.
  To stop this framing of deceiving headlines, the government need to play their role seriously.  They should resolve to see that all news reports undergo proper editing, and investigation should be carried out to confirm if such reports are true or twisted facts.  If government do this, the integrity of journalism would be restored, and the media would be trustworthy once again.  This would be a credit to the various news media as more people would be captivated to read without the doubt of authenticity of such articles.  The case would be opposite if majority of the headlines contain twisted and falsified information.  The public would lose interest on news reports because they are not genuine.
