Understanding ethical journalism.
The article discusses the problems of understanding ethical journalism. And the author of this article, Shanon Shah, interviews Joshua Wong Ngee Choong, a 42 old ,man,s a producer at ntv7 ,that opposes to self-censorship and political interference in the media. The author focuses our attention on the question of possibility to work from within the system if someone wants to be a good journalist that serves the public’s interest, and the answer of Joshua Wong Ngee Choong logically states, that it’s possible, but adds, that it's very difficult. Actually, journalists are victims of a system of monopolistic media ownership and that there is a general lack of journalistic platforms and job opportunities for journalists. Moreover, the interviewee particularly notices, that people must always ask themselves their purpose as jouranists and that they should minimase harm and act independentely.Answering the question of what would he say to criticisms that journalists who work in the government-controlled media are biased and unreliable by default, he correctly points, that all journalists should always go back to the principles of journalism and in the case of minimising harm. He also adds some informationto the understanding and provement of his statement, saying that journalists must put this moral compass in our hearts and must always be able to practise our conscience, and that is a personal conscience to be accountable, honest, fair and responsible. Moving on the theme of public expectations from journalists, whether in the government-controlled, party-controlled or independent media, expresses the view that the public must understand that they will be seriously affected if the traditional media downplay or black out important issues. In conclusion the author asks Mr. Choong a rapid and sharp question, of escribtion the kind of journalists and journalism he’d like to see in Malaysia. Analyzing the situation, Mr. Choong emphasize his opinion and says, that having a moral compass is important. He also adds, that jouranlists as professionals, are not the same as doctors or lawyers, for example. They become professionals after they are assessed on whether they have acquired the appropriate expertise or skills in their fields.
In conclusion, I'd like to say, that nowadays it's extremely important for every jouranist to know the basic elements of ethical journalism, because the journalist is the man, who expected to be as accurate as possible - and this profession gives him not only the opportunity to to transmit information to be the Herald of the truth, but also responsibility for compliance with all the rules.
