What's the new face of journalism?
By ETHEL DA COSTA
"what had me intrigued was the line of debate
that emerged during the session, "The freedom of Press belongs to the
owners of the Press," and in that very much rests the role of the media and
our future as journalists."
Journalism, as we've known it, is about to be commandeered by the
barbarians of profit mongers. Time to fire your own bazookas with a crash
helmet, readers. Let more people take power into their own hands to stand
up for their own destiny
Ethel da Costa.

Hi all,
This is and has been worrying for a long time now; So what do the
professional and non pro and the amateur and freelance journo's do about it?
Why not produce a world wide campaign against what the system has become?
Organise a world wide 'Union of Journalists' and together 'strike' at the
same time world wide; until all Press owners (private and Government) decide
and agree to commit in writing, to the complete freedom of the press, by the
people, for the people and of the people. What then can the owners of the
Press do? The owners of the press will have to give in, to a 'rightful
demand'. With the internet and present day advances, in communications, I'm
sure some one or a group can muster enough time and courage to start the
'Good War' for the good of all peoples.
I would think this is possible. Will all the journalists debate this and
join up in this 'war'?
