As the media in Egypt takes charge on the limiting constraints provided by their government, it is incredibly important in this moment to reflect upon the glory of our own rights as journalists.
The issue sprung from Egypt's draft constitution that is putting limits on freedom of expression. In lieu of this restriction, it's critical to think on the importance journalists and other media have on the well-fare of a populace. Referring to a previous blog, the Leveson report, stemming from the importance of the royal pregnancy, resulted in many key elements that the media should reflect upon.
According to Lord Justice Leveson, media should act "as guardian of the interests of the public, as a critical witness to events, as the standard barer for those who have no one else to speak up for them."
In our country, being able to realize these important rights, we are at an absolute advantage. As mediators between the government and the public, the huge responsibility of sharing information, as well as the unity of the country, the Egyptian media is a point where all these elements are at a major threat.
