It is the people called journalists, born and raised within the culture. To question authority should not be something that is viewed in bad light. She said journalists also have bias and prejudice about certain issues they pursue as news, and that must not be overlooked. Davies said when reports are influenced by bias a journalism precept of objectivity is compromised. She advised journalists to not be used by major businesspeople and politicians for their own causes.
Media have a responsibility to write positive reports about developments.
But my experiences have proved that it is harder to write about good things than it is to report bad things. There is a lot of mistrust by government officials, and of course they are not empowered to talk to the press freely. For example, when government iodised table salt, I expected officials to be forthcoming, but it was hectic to do a story on this. Davies said a code of ethics for journalists is a requisite, but she projected problems to get all journalists agreeing on a standard of practice. She also disagreed that journalists should always be respecting the laws, stating some of the laws disrespect people.
