Role of media:
“Empowering the people is to empower them with better
access to news, information and knowledge: news that is fair
and unbiased, information that is accurate and fast, and knowledge
that is reliable and well synthesized.”
“But information which reaches us at its greatest speed
will be so futile and useless if it lacks accuracy and reliability.
The quality of information depends on the degree of accuracy
it carries. The worthiness of news depends on the degree of
reliability it bears. And neither news or information is any
good if it is not based on fair reporting judgment.”
