Our journalists
Nowadays we have a lot of national dailies as well as private TV and fm radio stations where a good number of journalists are working and performing their professional duties. It's true that journalism is a kind of profession where honesty, integrity, patience, courage are the top most priority and journalists need to exercise their professional duty without fear or favour. It's encouraging to note that most of the journalists of our country are honest with their profession and it's because of their sheer hard work and dedication that our leaders feel at least some degree of accountability while dealing with them.
Nevertheless some of the journalists also compromise with their ethics and morality while working for some media which are regarded as the mouthpieces of a particular party or a group. But overall the standard of journalism has developed by the time and these days almost all the newspapers try to present the authentic and accurate information.
Our journalists are extremely dedicated and they never bow down to any pressure. The role they played to reinstate democracy after the 1|11 changeover of power is still vivid to our memory. As far as patience is concerned, our journalists are indeed very patient in their approach. Perhaps that's the reason why they never protest violently like Iraqi Journalist Al-Zaidi when an identified enemy of the liberation war claims himself to be a freedom fighter.
They never protest when corrupt politicians raise their voice against the actions of the previous caretaker government. Instead , all they do is to present the daily news items to the mass people in an authentic way. And at the end of the day, the general people are the ultimate decision makers and journalists are playing a pivotal role and helping the people in this regard to take the correct decisions against the offenders. So, credit must be given to our journalist community who are working relentlessly, despite all the odds and outside pressure.
