Is the freedom of press becoming freedom of everything?
Posted on December 26th, 2009 by admin
We already heard so many press activity that create much controversy in countries. Some of the new one were the cartoon corner.
I know that we lived in a country that had a freedom of press and media. But can activity of insulting someone is a good activity too? Press also disturbing personal life too, especially those celebrities and well-known person, well-known as paparazzi. Until at the end, it DOES really costs lives.
I just wondering, the freedom of press in my opinion is the freedom for the public to get information, not the freedom to disturbing other person’s private life or freedom to insult one person/group/country.
In fact, the freedom of press now becoming the freedom of writing gossip, not news. A news that it’s validity still questioned, much likely to be broadcasted in an improper way than it should.
Is this the face of press that we really wanted? From my opinion, it’s not ethical at all!
It is important to always protect the freedom of the press. At the same time, I think it is wrong how the paparazzi harrass celebrities. I don’t consider following somebody everywhere they go and taking their pictures as a necessary part of freedom of the press. This is just stalking people with a camera. The paparazzi that harrass celebrities should be arrested. It’s also the fault of the public. People should respect the privacy of celebrities and not support the gossip papers that give money to papparazzi.

I think the written word is sacred and must always be defended; however, I don’t think the same standard applies to cheap photographs.
