Press Freedom is Freedom to Express

Press freedom is a freedom to express what one witnesses for the right of the public to know. It must be truthful reporting of events without tint of falsity. News must be written as factual as it is without side comments.

Press freedom for opinion writer is based on the writer's own observation and belief on the events that is highly bias. One's opinion is from the writer's perception, but it must be guided, too, by the truth.

Truth is the best defense for libel.

Without press freedom the public will know nothing of the events around the locality. Now with the internet and satellite cable television, world events are accessible in any given moment.

So, cherish the Freedom of the Press.

Press Freedom is but creative freedom for the press

Freedom does not mean by all means that dead thrown stick up into the air! Freedom is linked with man's right in expressing oneself. To express ourselves the way it should be we need to be on our words. We as well need to have a witty mind and all our worthy observent looks in all around while we are marching our way forward. So conveying a news is a big responsibility. It does not mean to exaggerate things related to the news. People in charge should be careful when press touches are blinking down there. Finally , press freedom is to convey a news as they are. A free journalist is to build truth wherever it appears or lies. Kind regards Sabah M. Jasim Babel , IRAQ
