The global media are on the way of losing their values. They are getting more focused on making money, making a living for their owners, being the first in delivering news. They are covering their own interests and curiosity with the “lie” of others’ being curious. To cut long story short: They are getting selfish.
I believe we can call it the recent crisis of the media. This is not about the journalists losing their jobs, the newspapers and the TV-channels being forced to close down. In my opinion this is a crisis of values and of attitudes.
For me the question is: Do they want the story to get out or do they want to be the first to tell it? Why is that so important? Is it about the money or about their personal pride?
Besides these problems, the abuse of media for personal and political reasons is happening more often as well. Not only politicians, but also businessmen are using their money and power to get a hold of the media as much as they can. It can be very dangerous sometimes. Even if we do not know about it, it exists.
