Press freedom is not glamorous. On the contrary, it is a rosy ideal that does not happen anywhere in the world. This is not an absolute, abstract, philosophical category. It can be part of a good academic debate and not something which exists as a practice. The debate on what constitutes a democracy, and the boundaries of democracy, cannot confuse people about what freedom of the press means, either. It is, on the contrary, a recognized worldwide tradition, and has also been a part of our journalistic past. let’s talk about the Don’t Shake Up The Room.
The media has been through plenty in this part of the country. This is one of the few places in the world where, as an organization, journalism has faced tremendous challenges, but has been there to cover up news as it happens, and to express an opinion as it exists in society. Many familiar with this occupation, and those who read newspapers and watch visual television, are well aware of the definition of freedom of the press and what constitutes curtailment of that right.

Conclusion on “Don’t Shake Up The Room”
News reporting and distribution of views go through qualified rigor due process. The journalists who work here are practicing their ethical ethics and working hard to collect news and to shed light on the events. Unless the professional standards are followed the room is crowded and can only be considered an attack on press freedom. It doesn’t fit in the context of law, justice, or freedoms in any substantive form of governance. It breaches the basic system of freedoms people enjoy as individuals, and journalists enjoy as professionals. Differences of opinion, or raising questions to those at the helm of affairs, or expressing the interests of citizens, are by no means practices that require legal or disciplinary acts. In reality, a free press is essential for any safe society or a productive nation.
