Dear Kidist:

Great to hear from you.

The main reason for the absence of private television broadcasting in Ethiopia is that there is no legal framework that allows it. So, first we need to have the laws in place to see other detailed issues, if any. With regard to the second question, there is similar task be it in online or the traditional media for a journalist. Not that much different on the professionalism and ethics that has to be followed.

Dear Hailemelekot T. Birhan,

This is Temesgen. A second year student of journalism and communication at Mekelle University.

I really appreciate your general status, and it's really my honor to write to you.

I just want to ask you a question from your vast experience in journalism,

From the perspective of press freedom, does online journalism has it's own rules or some other different laws? In other words, what is the press freedom for online journalism?

Best regards,

Temsgen shiferaw

Student, MU

It's really an interesting point you raised.

Online journalism has its own rules and regulations which has to abide by in so many countries around the world. Yet, there is no such law that governs it here in Ethiopia. As to my understanding the essence of press freedom in online journalism is not different from that of traditional media. Yet, we have to wait for the laws to be promulgated here in Ethiopia.

Best,

Question

What do You think about to days Freedom of Press and Freedom of Expression in Ethiopia?

Answer

Thanks you for your question.

To be honest with you, the issue of freedom of press and freedom of expression is quite a delicate matter in Ethiopia. It seems you are also very much aware of that and tried to change the angle of your question from what you have said specifically about Ethiopian to a general sense latter. It doesn't mater.We can talk about the issue in Ethiopia in a precise way.

Freedom of press and expression is a constitutionally guaranteed right in Ethiopia as per Article 29 of the FDRE Constitution as well as subsequent proclamation of the Freedom of the Mass media and Access to Information,590/2008. In fact the laws are there, but serious irregularities are observed in the implementation. What you have to bear in mind that, developing professionalism is very crucial while working as a journalist. This gives you the credibility and doesn't give any room of error for those who might be critical of it. Yet, even if the framework is there, some one should not feel everything is smooth as of the developed nations. It is a right which is very fragile in Ethiopian context and every body claims to have of it.

Having all the issues above, bear in mind that a lot is expected from you-Journalism students for its real professionalism development in the future.

Respectfully,

Yohannis, Student MU

    Impacts of New Media on Journalism

Dear Haile,
 

   I am Mesfin Kassahun from Journalism and communication department Mekelle University,how are you? how is job? The reason why  I emailed  is to ask you one question about journalism.my question is here:

How do  you describe the impact of new media on journalism?

I hope you will answered me  in best way thank you.

Dear Mesfin:

Great to hear from you.

The social media (new media) seems broke the stories preceding the mainstream media nowadays. So its impact is that more people may get up-to-date information from the social media than the mainstream media. You might guess what is going to happen if it pursues like this. More and more people might give attention to the social media than the mainstream media.

Best,

HaileAnd i would like to ask you a question. As you know there is a negative perspective towards Ethiopian journalists in our country.

To be a journalist you have to be advocator of the government. And how can i be a neutral and objective journalist in this situation?

Well, it depends on the environment you are working on. If you are working on government media, you may be obliged to have a pro-government tone. Yet, what you need to understand is that, even if you are working on  a private media, as the professional ethics says so, you need to dig out the truth and the fact. You don't need to be biased. Yet, as a private media, you may have some thoughts which you stand for. So, as long as you are aware of the ideals of journalism, there are private media as well. So you can join there and grow your career.Dear Haile

I am Behailu Gezahegn from journalism department at MU.
what do you think about the role of Ethiopian broadcast media on political system of Ethiopia?

Hailemelekot's Answer


Dear Behailu:

Thanks for your question.

As any country, the broadcast media plays an insurmountable role in influencing and guiding the political atmosphere in Ethiopia. What may differ is that the role of the media in stirring the politics in Ethiopia is not that much of other developed nations.Bear in mind that our system has its own limitations.

Best,

HaileThis is Q and A with haila melekot t.berehan I want to ask one question.

how can  you thinking about progress of online journalism in Ethiopia ??

     Hailemelekot's Answer

Online journalism in Ethiopia is at early stage. It is very much infantile. As you know one needs to have internet connection and a computer to engage in online journalism. I think you can make an educated guess on how many people do have internet connection and access to computers in Ethiopia. It heavily relies on that. In fact nowadays people can have internet access from their phones but that is still limited. Just think the progress of online journalism in this context.

please share My interview with Mr.Hailemelekot T.Birhan that I held.

Dear Mr. Hailemelekot T. Birhan,

This is Nahom. A student of journalism at Mekelle University. It's really my pleasure having the chance to write to you.

I'm enrolled in journalism and communication because of my passion of being a journalist since my childhood.But now that i am engaged in the department i am having some doubts about the field. From my deep respect of you and the chance to share some experience of yours, i am going to ask you one question.

Do you think journalism is a field that has to be given at University level? More specifically, from the perspective of citizen journalism, should this field be given by degree?

I hope you will give me a detailed and explanatory answer. Thank you in advance.

With regards,
Nahom Tadesse
Student, MU

Dear Nahom:

Great to hear from you.

Nahom, I would like to assure you that you are studying an excellent field if it is of your passion. You don't need to worry about the challenge of citizen journalism that much. It's undeniable that it poses a challenge but don't consider it as a threat and discourage you.

Sure, journalism will keep on one of the fields to be provided in Universities and follow your ambitions.

Best,

Q and A with hailemelekot

I wonder the mainstream media is dying due to citizen journalism. Both are working in their own way and no doubt the latter poses a challenge on the former. But I don't think it reaches on survival level. Just be loyal to the profession and keep all the ethics and professionalism if it needs to thrive in the future
