1. What should we expect from the media; how
can we hold them accountable?

Holding the media accountable, we
should expect them to show or record exactly what is being done. With the
situation escalating, so are the homicides. Day by day, hundreds of Tutsis’
lose their lives, and the media should be there to capture all of it. There is
a possibility that the government has the authority to release what is
necessary for the world to see. Evidently, we can hold them accountable for
every footage they capture.
2. What is the level of public responsibility
when issues are brought to light
by the media?
by the media?
·
When brought to light, public responsibility was
extremely low. While being broadcast, other countries weren't closely paying
attention to what was happening outside their country. As time went on, they
showed less interest the genocide. They began to hide after the brutality was
shown. Thus far, the public never responded to the situation at all.
Darrell,
ReplyDeletePlease revise this. The first paragraph is too general. You need to clarify in the topic sentence that you are speaking of the Rwandan genocide. The second question isn't asking how people responded to the genocide, it's asking how they SHOULD have responded.
