Journalist must be careful!

Time and time again I sit behind tv's, Internet and radio listening to what some people call the news and I seem to get this particular reaction about what journalist do. Journalism is good don't get me wrong but one should also know that it's a double edged sword. As such it should be wielded with utmost care and sensitivity. I always say(and it's strictly my opinion) that most of the major problems in countries has it's roots from journalists and what they report. Honestly humans in general talk too much. We go about our daily Iives forgetting about the power of the tongue. Some things to me do not need to be said publicly or even privately. The pen or many cases the keyboard has become an instrument for stirring up arguments between people which further leads to fights and later on...well you all know where I'm going. The very funny things is considering where I came from being Ghana, the very people who willingly indulge themselves in silly little riots happen to be those who really don't benefit from anything the so called politicians promise to offer. Back to the issue of journalists, the newspapers are always filled with highly explosive headings, ones that raise the hair on your back momentarily upon taking a glance at it. The objective behind It is understandable but one should be careful about the way one constructs their sentences for it could lead to problems beyond one's imagination. Just an advice to all before I end... Chaw!!
