PRESS Freedom Week

Use press freedom 'to show social concern'

.

AS Cebu media workers opened the 13th Press Freedom Week yesterday with festivities, they took time to listen to a Catholic Church leader’s advice for them to be responsible, to pray for those who lost their lives in defense of press freedom and seek forgiveness from God for acts of irresponsibility. University of San Carlos president Fr. Roderick Salazar Jr., SVD, told members of the mass media that “express conscience is the corporate social responsibility of press freedom.” “At the beginning of this celebration, we have to understand that, like all other sectors in the society, we must underline corporate social responsibility in our work. We have a body and we are part of that body. We must be objective and yet we must also express the truth and defend press freedom in society,” he said in his homily at the Capitol Social Hall yesterday morning. MORE HERE!
