The media’s role is to ensure that the counter-checks and
balances that are necessary to promote human rights to the audience. If
there are reported human rights violations, then the media’s role is to ensure
that the true story will be delegated to the people. The media should operate free
from bias and report accordingly – which means that there should be no
preference for stories in certain continents or contexts. By reporting human
rights violations, society will be able to see what will happen and will
encourage necessary assemblies to fight against these abuses.
