Call on Media for Fairness in Reporting this Upcoming Elections
There are 18 more days to go before the elections. I finally got the chance to register myself as an official voter of the Philippines just months ago. A lot has happened through the course of those months – the emergence of the presidentiables and their partymates. Each milestone of the upcoming elections has been covered by the media. That is why they play a significant role in influencing voters’ opinions.
In the 18 years of my life here on earth, I have never seen an election season as hyped as this one. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of people really want their clamor for change be granted, probably because the upcoming 2010 Philippine elections will be crucial to the progress of the country in all sectors of the nation – whether it is political, economical, cultural etc.
Nowadays, 90% of the news is election-related, 5% is showbiz news and 5% others. This might be an exaggeration, but the point is that the upcoming elections are clearly getting most of the attention of the public compared to past elections. This is actually a good thing. Social media and sophisticated technologies help speed up information dissemination and make it easier for people to translate their messages – one can find information on the Internet even if they weren’t able to watch the news on TV.
