Citizen Journalism

By Mohammad Zohaib Siddiq

Most powerful tool and weapon that a man possesses is a small piece of muscular boneless organ placed in his mouth between his teeth.
It has the power of medicine as well as poison, power to create peace as well as power to wage a war, can flourish nations as well as can ruin nations. It depends only on the quality, quantity, mode, volume, time, and etc of its use by the beholder. It takes three years to learn how to use it but, it takes a life time to learn when & where and how to use it.
Its the tool to convey our internal feelings our thoughts our imaginations our ideas our fancy. Lo those who dont know how and when to use it or they intentiolly dont use it cant be succeeded no problem even if they have lots of talent and energy for success. Its proper use can make you a ruler from a clerk.
To estimate the power of the tongue, consider following example.
One Day Teeth and Tongue were in Conversation..
Teeth Said:
"If I just press u a little, you will get cut"
Tongue Replied:
"If I misuse one word against someone, all ur 32 will come out of the mouth.
This is the power of tongue, power of expression. How do we express, has an impact on the listener and reader. Abuses in good manner seem sweeter than praises in harsh manner.
This same power of tongue is also possessed by pen. Yes, people have said that pen is a bigger weapon than sword. How do we use pen, how do we fight war of words, what to write, where to write, when to write have the same consequences that the tongue brings about but in a silent way. Who knows the use of tongue and pen better than a journalist? Yes, the techniques journalists use to spread the news via media can turn day into night and night into day. Problem is created when some politicians, for their personal gains, "buy" journalists to wage a war of words and impose this war on the poor people. We must be aware of the false propaganda these politicians use with the help of journalists, and media to prove or disprove certain assertions.
Nowadays, what we are knowing via the mainstream media is influenced by these politicians. Politicians hide their faults, express their achievements and make the innocent people fool. Internet is the media to curb this menace. Here we can tell the world what is true, what is false, what is real what is fake. This is the era of Citizen Journalism. Everyone is a journalist now a days. You are adviced to use your wit for the cause of truth...!
