TOO CLOSE



Often times, entertainment news goes overboard while exposing the lives of celebrities. Coverage on Anna Nicole Smith’s death, the Jolie-Pitt children and the video leakage of the Cebu doctors show too personal views of issues. They were too in-depth, too opinionated, biased as to their treatment. Public was subject only to view the scandalous lives of these celebrities. People too immersed to see the situation from a contextual view-that they are also humans who have personal lives.

TOO FAR




Poverty is a harsh reality that has been stripped of a proper face. Nowadays, it seems it has been reduced to mere statistics, ineffectual numbers flashed across screens and print ads. It is not a wonder why the common citizen would seem unconcerned about this matter.

PROPER DISTANCE




Recent natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina and China’s earthquake have taken thousands of lives. Thankfully, because of well-covered exposure of these events in broadcasting, millions of people around the world have united in efforts to alleviate the situation of the victims (through donations and rescue missions). Such is an effect similar to that of our EDSA I where people unite and have been spurred to action by objective news exposing the truth behind the government and where victims voices are heard.
