PRESS FREEDOM

by: A BLOGGER

What’s your definition of FREEDOM OF PRESS?Kebebasan Bersuara.Kebebasan Menulis.Kebebasan menyampaikan apa yang tersemat di hati.It’s actually quite a labyrinthine question come to think of it.Believe in the freedom of press?I define freedom of press as the freedom for a reporter, journalist, writer, contributor, columnist, forumers or be it bloggers or webmasters to carry out their duties without having to worry about interference from the government, political parties, big brothers, gate handlers, moderators, coordinators or any other parties interested in distorting the news or perhaps, wanting the news to be in favor/s of his/her/theirs unknown motives.Must we always believe what we read in the mainstream newspapers?And must we always believe what the bloggers blogs and reaches the entire world?

Is Harakah report accurate?The rule of thumb says that as long as it is not writing condemning other religions, races or believe plus vulgar words – there are room for freedom of press.

But it will really fascinates me – what is Freedom of Expression here at this XMC Ning stuff?Explain the dos & donts so that no one get hurts or felt cheated of the so call Freedom of expression in an unwritten rules.

As one XMC lady told me “ Penat aku buat research tulis panjang-panjang untuk orang faham, tetiba kena delete ! Malas la nak komen lagi ”.Do not point your finger to blame the suramness of this place to all directions...Opinions and views are feedbacks from communicators.

Some might be great advice that you never thought of it...Please open the gate of expression...
