OPEN
LETTER TO MEDIA HOUSES/ PERSONALITIES AND MEDIA USERS
Dear Social media House/ Personality,
It’s very “normal”
these days when we go online to read about happenings around the world to see terrible
stuffs occurring everywhere from America to Asia down to Africa being reported.
These days when I even try to initiate a
conversation with people about current affairs around the globe, the natural
tendencies are...
the evil happenings.
the evil happenings.
But you see, the news are BIAS.
Now I will talk about a case study I am certain of;
NIGERIA.
We are a country of over 160 million people, our
media houses have never reported the fact that 20million people in different
states of the federation went about their work safely in a day, two or even for
weeks. GUESS THAT IS NO NEWS!!!
ALAS! It’s happening and that is supposed to be in
the news. People in their hundreds of thousands are getting saved, surrendering
their lives to Christ. Those are the news CNN, BBC, BLOGS, and RADIO HOUSES etc.
should publish.
But let some three people be killed in a remote
village in Borno State that is when they will have a news about Nigeria being
under terrorist attack.
Dear media house/ Personality, I dare you to flood
your news with all the fantastic things happenings around.
And to you dear media
reader, if you ever allow yourself to be trapped in the assumption that no
good things are happening anywhere, YOU
ARE ON A LONG THING. Because GOOD THINGS never cease. People are buying
cars, building houses, graduating from high school and college, creating jobs,
getting high paid employments, making the world a better place with their
research in a small laboratory unknown to many around the globe.
And like my
pastor will say, ‘something’s are not meant for your meditation’. So get the
right things to meditate upon and never allow the bias media news to cloud your
thoughts with negativity.
A word is enough for the wise.
I am Agboola Biyi Micheal a BLESSING to my
GENERATION and an ASSET to NIGERIA.
They are Marketers, and It's unfortunate that what sells is bad news, so that is the direction they would naturally go to
ReplyDeleteBut like you said, it's our responsibility to undo the wrong effects of their bad news
absolutely sir!
