globdev (media)

The society today seems to be living in a liberal sense. The media does its job in informing the people and keeping an eye on the government. The government, as well, takes advantage of the media. It is now a medium for them to send news to the people. With what happened in the hostage crisis at Quirino, has the idea of "keeping people informed" gone too far? Some media men are in heat, because of the part they played that cost the lives of some of the victims. Should there be a limit to their dedication? Was the outcome of the event specifically their fault, because of lack of better judgment or the lack of the implementation of rules by the government? Mediamen should also focus on the quality of their work. It seems that hardcore news has become showbiz news. Many headlines have been edited by the broadcasting stations. If so, there is no truth in the media  in this country.
