NEWS IN ZAMBIA

News is any information which is recent and intends to inform and educate the mass. But what is news in Zambia? News nowadays has gone out of hand. It seems anything and everything is news and is being disseminated towards the mass. It is true that each and every information is important to us as individuals, but some issues I am sorry to say do not even concern the mass. For example news on marital affairs, what does that have to do with the nation at large? Where has the important news gone? As Zambians we need to know on for example parliamentary proceedings like passing of bills, amendments made and so forth. We need to know on constitutional reservations and reason for them being passed. But nowadays, media seems to pay importance to mediocrity like for example allegations on witch craft, shop lifting and the like. These are important, but to what extent? Matters of speculation and matters of who can talk better than the other are considered more important, but for Christ sacks are not news. As a nation we need to know on for example what is to be done about the unfavourable fall in kwacha. We need to know what implementations to take so as to better our nation. We get exploited as a nation due to the fact that we overlook the important news which concerns all. We seem to want to point fingers to problems that we have as a nation, but never want to come up with solutions. Some Zambians do not even know about their human rights because such is never brought to light. Let’s demand for important news. Let’s pay importance to the real news which concerns Zambia as a whole.
