Sorrow of a journalist: Meaningless Press Freedom?
No journalists have actual freedom. It’s almost same from developed to underdeveloped countries, western society to radical society. Some times only the media owners can enjoy very limited freedom. Media is directly or indirectly controlled either by the governments or the various non-state actors. It’s can’t even survive if the highly influential advertisers fade up on any specific media. When we, journalists have to fighting continuously for our rights, World Press Freedom Day is totally meaningless. However, with my profound respect I remember the brave journalists who died while discharging their novel profession or in jail and were tortured.
