Dear all.
The meaning of Media is to keep informing the people of what is going on around the clock. But our media is local because everyone picked his phone and call back home, then come back with what he learn and inform others in the community through discussion forums. This in my idea is not bad at all because it is the only where those who did not call may obtain the information.
In addition, let not turning the blames on ourselves or particularily to the informants simply because nothing could excited anyone to inform others with un-hearded information. Everything we posted here were told by the people in Akobo, but in fact the number of the deads is not fully confirmed until now. Even if some one call Akobo now, he or she will receive the same informaton with mix up figures and different death estimates.
That does not mean the person who posted the high or low figure is excited to tell, but it is only the way we can keep ourselves inform, and for media to see how badly our community have been mascre.
So please do not discourage our media reporters. Let them post as much as they want as long as the message has a true backgrounds.
Yrs.
