I-UN ibungaza usuku lomhlaba lwenkululeko yabezindaba: Ingabe lezi yizindaba ezingamanga?

Isitha sabantu. Le yile ncazelo uMongameli uTrump waseMelika avame ukuyisebenzisa kwizikhungo zezindaba ezibandakanya i- New York Times, Washington Post, noma i-CNN. IZizwe Ezihlangene zaqoka uMeyi 3 njengoSuku lweNkululeko Yezindaba Lomhlaba ngenhloso yokuqwashisa ngeqhaza elibalulekile elibanjwa ngabezindaba emiphakathini ngenkathi zikhumbuza ohulumeni “ngesidingo sokuhlonipha ukuzibophezela kwabo ekulondolozeni inkululeko yabezindaba.” I-UN iyichaza “njengosuku lokucabangisisa phakathi kwabachwepheshe bezindaba ngezindaba zenkululeko yabezindaba nezindlela zokuziphatha eziqeqeshiwe.”

EWashington, esitatimendeni sokugubha lolu suku, uNobhala Wombuso wase-United States uMike Pompeo ukhulume ngemithombo yezindaba ezimele ngokuthi “ibalulekile emiphakathini yentando yeningi ekhululekile, ephumelelayo nephephile.”

Angikwazanga ukuvuma okuningi. Futhi ngesaba ukuthi siphokophele esikhathini esizayo esintula ngendlela eyingozi le mibono yentando yeningi engenakuguqulwa.

Njengoba unobhala abhekise kuye, kunezintatheli ezihlupheka emajele - kepha ukubala ezimbalwa - iGibhithe, iYemen, iPakistan, iTurkey, iThailand, neVenezuela "ngecala" lokwenza imisebenzi yabo njengamalungu eFourth Estate. Njengoba ngibhala, izintatheli ezivela kuThe New York Times, The Washington Post, naseThe Wall Street Journal baxoshwe eChina njengoba bezama ukuthola izimpendulo ngemvelaphi yalolu bhubhane olulethe izinxushunxushu, ukufa nokuphazamiseka okukhulu Umhlaba.

Okuyindida kakhulu ukuthi iWorld Press Freedom Day ihambisane nesinqumo senkantolo yasePakistan sokudedela labo okukholakala ukuthi yibona ababengungqondongqondo ekubulaweni ngesihluku kukaDaniel Pearl weThe Wall Street Journal.

Lolu suku lubaluleke kakhulu kimina uqobo njengoba ngichithe impilo yami ngilwela ubuntatheli obuzimele, ngifundisa inqwaba yabantu abasha ukubaluleka okubaluleke kakhulu komkhakha wezindaba ongabambeki, kanye nesikhungo sobuntatheli. Ngokudabukisayo, i-ejensi yethu, iThe Media Line, ayidingi sikhumbuzo ngaphandle kwenkumbulo yozakwethu onesibindi futhi okhaliphile, uSteven Sotloff, owanikela ngokubika okuphefumulelwe okuvela eMiddle East ngolwazi olugcwele lokuthi ubungozi bomsebenzi wakhe awuthandayo umbeka kanjani ezihlalweni eziphambanisayo ze iqembu elikhulayo lababulali be-maniacal elizokwaziwa njenge-ISIS futhi ekugcineni libhekane nokubulawa kwakhe konya.

Amazwi kaSteven ahlabayo kithi ngoJulayi 2013 abonisa ukudangala kwakhe okukhulayo ukuze kukhuliswe inani lamaqiniso atholwe izintatheli ezizinze eSyria ngoba uxhaxha lwezokuxhumana lwaludilizwa.

“Njengoba abezindaba bamazwe omhlaba bezinikele ngomzabalazo phakathi kwamasosha neMuslim Brotherhood eGibhithe, zimbalwa izintatheli ezigxile eSyria. Kodwa inqwaba yokuthunjwa kwezintatheli zakwamanye amazwe eSyria yenze leli lizwe laba yi-mini-Iraq okumbalwa abafuna ukuyongena kuyo. 'Kuyingozi futhi kuya ngokuya kuba kubi usuku nosuku,' kusho umlobeli wephephandaba laseNtshonalanga. 'Uma kungekho ocela izindatshana, kungani kufanele sizifake engozini?' ”

Izolo nje, bengixoxisana nalabo abafuna ukuqeqeshwa kwi-The Media Line's Press and Policy Student Programme abebenentshisekelo yokuziqeqesha bakude njengoba i-COVID-19 ishiye amanyuvesi evaliwe. Isitshudeni esivela eyunivesithi ehlonishwayo ebesikuthanda ukulandela umkhondo wobuntatheli sicabange ukuthi “uqala nje ukubhala indaba,” - “umzuzu ka-Eureka” womqambi wohlelo. Isifundo esifundwe ngaphambi kokufundisa igama: Uma umhlaba ungafundiswanga ukuthi ubuntatheli kufanele bube njani - ubuciko, umsebenzi odinga ukufunda, ucwaningo kanye nekhono - lapho-ke thina zintatheli sehlulekile kwisabelo sethu esiyisisekelo: ukuxhumana esingobani.

Uzakwethu othandekayo, umcabango okhaliphile uDkt.Nadia Al-Sakkaf, owayengummemezeli weThe Yemen Times, wangitshela ukuthi ukuhweba kuyashintsha futhi sekuba ibhizinisi lawo wonke umuntu. ICyberspace iba yipulatifomu eyinhloko yobuntatheli, enika amandla ngandlela thile kepha inezinkinga zayo.

Ukuletha Ubuntatheli Emuva ”- isifundo sevidiyo esingezansi

Ukuxhuma okusheshayo kanye nokubamba ukunakwa okubambe iqhaza kuyasusa ezimisweni eziyisisekelo zamagugu ethu entando yeningi. Iningi labantu baseMelika abangakhumbula isikhathi esiphumelelayo sezinhlelo zenethiwekhi zezindaba zasebusuku bese besachitha amahora bengcolisa iminwe yabo ngekhophi enamabala ngoyinki yephephandaba lasekuseni bayawuqonda lo mehluko.

Njengoba sibheka izinto ezishaqisayo ezehlela izintatheli ezibeka izimpilo zazo engcupheni ukuthola le ndaba futhi zilunge, kufanele sikhale ngokulahleka kwamaphephandaba amaningi kanye nemithombo yezindaba engazange ikwazi ukudlula ezingozini zomnotho ngo-2008 futhi iphinde ibhekane nokudilizwa emsebenzini futhi, yebo, ukuvalwa.

Uma i-United States of America, izwe labakhululekile, ingeke iholele indlela ekuxhaseni ngezimali isikhungo sobuntatheli nemithombo yezindaba eqinile, izintatheli zethu, esizihloniphayo namuhla, ngeke zibe nalutho olungaphezu kwalezi zitolo ezinkulu ezithengisa izinhlangano zezombusazwe ezingahlanganyeli zingavivinywa ngemicabango ebanzi nokwehluka futhi kwaziwa yizakhamizi zethu ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene ezivela ezindabeni ezingamanga kuya enkulumweni-ze.
