We all should respect good journalism....But what is in SL these days is not journalism..Its all poking into some minor thing and creating a huge story of it and making money...They never publish any news without the so called " news value "working in a media, doesnt give them the licence to poke into other people's personal life.. Dont get us wrong we respect Good journalism, but this is just 3rd grade mud slinging, its like the old saying "Wadhurata Dhali Pihiya Dunna Wage"!!!!, Great journalists like Alan Johnston who covered the current iraq war & was even held captive by terrorists, Walter Cronkite who covered WW-2 and the Nuremberg Trials, Peter Arnett who covered the Vietnam war & both Iraq Wars, Anna Politkovskaya the late Russian journalist famous for critical coverage of war in Chechnya,Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who exposed the water gate Scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of the The President of the US, The Late Great human rights activist Richard De Zoysa,These people have forever earned our admiration & respect. They were noble & just in their cause. Something which terribly lacks in most journalists of our country today, otherwise wud they resort to go on such a 3rd grade campaign on us.Just because you guys are from the media, does NOT give u the right to go poke your cameras where ever & at whom ever you want to, I'm deeply concerned because, is this the start of paparazzi culture in Sri Lanka????, a place where thankfully it has been spared off for so long. Now we know what is media all about!! Specially ,When they have nothing to report they make story out of no where..Hope all people will understand What they do ?? Dont believe what there showing is not the truth even a lay person can understand it ,though these poor media guys couldn't !There are some ppl in media called "pinguttharayo" . they dun won't to report wut s happenin bt they need to make something to happen & report. Unbelievable how strengthen they r!!!!!!!! to stay even without a scratch mark aft 150-200 students attacked them!!!!!!!!( that single example is enough to realise the truth)The stories we get from the media are one sided. It’s as how the media see it and only how the media see it.From what I read on other online news sites is that these journalists have tried to photograph the hostel building of the Colombo Medical Faculty. This was what lead to the fight. A hostel is a place where hundreds of students reside and with the current security situation nobody should be allowed to photograph such places.I also saw the cameraman complaining that about 150 students assaulted him. This is very very hard to believe. If 150 males in their early twenties assaulted a man, he would not live to tell the story. The cameraman was lucky it was the Colombo medical faculty. Had it been a place like Peradeniya, the journalist would now be in another world.This goes to show how irresponsible the journalists are. They have the tool to touch the hearts and minds of the people, and yet they abuse this tool just to sell their work.Both Electronic and print media reported this news covering only one side of the story. Medical students have stated that photographer has entered the premises without permission and when sub warden questioned him , he acted violently without producing his ID. Anyway the police will conduct the formal inquiry, but the role of the media should be to report an unbiased story covering both sides who are involved.I think there should be a regulatory council to report such biased and untruly electronic media reporting to avoid such situations in the future.</blockquote>
