Sweeties?

Colourful sweeties invoke no certain image or a solid view of the facts.  We cannot treat the lives, future or dreams of people like they are sweeties. In my view, honesty sits at the base of journalism ethics.

Anyone with a piece of technology can do a “press release” in the form of an image or a declaration. However, I believe Social Media can be a sword with two edges. An ordinary sword can clear the path inside a thick jungle, but it can also hurt you. With Social Media, one edge leads to social change and empowerment. The other edge can hinder the same social change, by distorting events.

Citizen-journalists must be very careful when presenting facts and follow the same ethics as journalists. Only this way we will be able to build a better future for ourselves and humanity.
