✅ What do you think journalism in a country should look like and how much of it has been observed in your country?

First of all, let's look at the meaning of journalism. It is a profession that is based on writing news for broadcast either on the radio station or TV station, magazine, newspaper or social media.

Journalism in a country is expected to source and present facts regarding issues whether it is favourable or not. They are supposed to be neutral and not sentimental, judgemental or bring in their own opinion on any kind of issue be it political, educational, religious, cultural and so on. Their concern is to get facts and report them to the general public objectively allowing the general public to give their interpretation or form their own opinion on the reported fact.

✅ Do you believe that all the news you are seeing today's time contains honesty and accurate information? What is the reason for believing or not?

I do not believe that all the news I am seeing contains honest and accurate information. Most of the news we hear today is fake or the writer has injected his personal opinion into the news to make it sweet.

Today, journalists are afraid to give out the factual truth on certain issues like politics because they are afraid of losing their jobs especially those employed by the government. Because of this, some news is subjected in favour of the government.

✅ Has there been any change between the journalism of your country in the past and the present time? Has it had a positive or negative impact?

Yes, their has been a very big negative change between the journalism of my country in the past and the present time.
In the time past journalism is objective. The journalist where committed to their duty and the government encourage them with good insentives.

But in my country today, journalists are very careful in their presentation because of ownership influence, political interference, lack of trust from the public, poor welfare for journalists, and lack of funding for newsrooms. Hence, they prefer to be subjective to enable them win the mind of the government since they are been controlled by them.
