                  “Media and Government: A Love-Hate Relationship”

"How do you forsee yourself as a consumer of media and a citizen under the governance of a certain administration? To ask such a question is to awake the inner patriotism an individual has. We see media as a tool to input information as literacy to us. Gaining news or words from different media outlet such as facebook, articles, news sites and televsion is an example of its function. It gaves knowledge to the common people and that we love. Living in a democratic country gaves us the freedom to speak, write, and express our opinions and views about a certain topic. However, the freedom comes with a price - the responsibility. The government provides us the "freedom of speech", so simply means we can always voice out our opinion and criticism about the government - especially when it comes to ther incompetency and not functioning as what they are provided to.

Thus, we can see a lot of these comments and sentiments on any media platforms. This is an illustration of a love-hate relationship. As much as we love the enjoyment that media could give us, it is also the area where shameful words, vulgarity and below the belt treatment is loudly placed. The other side of freedom and democracy. Government's actions and updates are published through public, therefore, it is an expected feedback from the people for the government to receive backlash. Nevertheless, we as the people must also use this freedom as careful as we could to protect us and to protect the reputation of our country. Know how to do factual check in regards to what we share online and spread to people. At these times, sharing information to other person is so crucial that it may influence them in many ways. To atleast avoid the love-hate scenario, be mindful enough, sensitive and have observe proper netiquette - netizen in online, or even at personal. It is the least we could do as a citizen aside from participating on the right ways.

Be responsible for what you hear, what you read, and what you spread. It will not only inform us but also influence us. Therefore, guidelines and proper knowledge should be imposed on how to become more woke, vigilant, and sensitive as the norm or netiquette - online etiquette.
