Oroquieta City – Former NUJP Chair Jose Torres Jr. now Editor in Chief of REMATE Tonite and Frontline.PH , ka “joe” to his friends and supporters came to talk about media ethics and elements of proper media reporting on election related issues to the participants of the Manggagawang Media Ng Mindanaw (3M) whose aim is to arm Mindanao media practitioners especially from Iligan, Oroquieta, Pagadian, Ozamis, and Dipolog practitioners in the upcoming 2010 national and local election.
Said seminar-workshop is conducted to refresh media practitioners of its responsibility on how to be a respected reporter especially to the upcoming 2010 election. Media ethics is usually question against a media practitioner who practises the profession as a job opportunity to earn a living and frequently charge as an envelopmental faggot to feed his stomach and for his family or personal needs.
However, Mr. Joe Torres who had been ousted by NUJP because of such alleged acts as he heartily denied, but colleague from NUJP did not give him a chance to clean his name. “Ok lang yon, I know I did not sinned NUJP, it is the right of the organization to oust me” He said.
Ethical standards of journalism is a guide for every journalist be it in print or broadcast or even e-journalist to behave and practise journalism as respectable as it is. But the ethical code is only a guide, Guides that are usually not followed, but it is not a law. It is the sole of every journalist responsibility to morally and spiritually functioned as a respected and credible journalist.
In the said seminar, participants also learned on R.A.9369 or the act that signals the pull automation of the 2010 election, a new craft for all electorate in this country, first in Asia Pacific region. However, poll automation is not the be-all and end-all of clean and credible election. It will not stop in an automated fashion vote-buying and election related violence.
Equipped with the correct attitude, Philippine Election of 2010 will be a breakthrough and with the support of all stakeholders, voters, and government, as reasons for hope and optimism to have a clean and credible election.
Meantime, Manggagawang Media Ng Mindanaw is now a DOLE registered working media group, first in Mindanao and the whole country.
