What is the role of media in reporting human rights violations in a responsible manner

The responsibility of the media, in reporting human rights violations, is enormous. It is through them that the world can learn about violations that would be kept secret, if not exposed. However, there is always a limitation, and a certain standard that must be followed by reporters and journalists, especially on how, and how much, must be reported, and exposed. One important factor that must always be taken into account is the veracity of the sources that will be used. Otherwise there could be misinformation. The second is, the protection of the sources, if there are any, who might have contacted them for a case. The third is, they must always stick to the facts, and the truth, as much as possible, without adding their opinion, or in any way seeking to persuade a readership on a case. Otherwise, there will be bias, and probable consequences.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
