Week 6

Certainly reporters would have a hard time to report the truth, give out their opinions or speak their minds thru their blogs, if they are not encourage to write on blogs in their country. It would surely be hard to deal when the authorities doesn’t encourage to post or speak our minds thru blog posting. It’s like they are being oppressed by their freedom of the press and freedom of expression. It is like they are being held on the neck so they could not give out their opinion to the public and for public’s awareness, reporters have no choice but to follow what the authorities want them to do and this is not good for they are controlling and holding back the right of the reporters to report, also the right of the people to be informed and to know what the reporters think and say about a certain issues in their country. If authorities in that particular country does not encourage blogging/posting in blogs then if we think of it carefully it is like they are hindering the reporters to speak up, it’s like they are being bias. Stopping reporters for posting a blog that contains any possible glitch or stain which would start to give out wrong or misinterpretation and also may cause to open the eyes of the people for possible truth about their government. Here in our Country, we are not discouraged to post a blog; rather we are given the opportunity to practice our freedom to express and the freedom of the press. Also this given opportunity should be taken care of because for sure there would be people who have vested interest and who would intend to manipulate it for their own interests and benefits.
