Alliance of JournalistsThe Alliance and the MediaThis paper gives an analysis of the situation of the global media in relation to social responsibility. It also attempts to outline the Alliance's Socioprofessional Network of Journalists.
What does the media have to say about ecological imbalances in our world and increasing social inequalities? The trend of the media to serve limited social functions gives basis for concern. The abundance of newspapers, journals, and TV channels has unfortunately not led to diversity of content and social responsibility.
It is this social responsibility that should be promoted. This can be done through encouraging journalists, publishers, and producers to give greater attention to social issues and to suggest solutions to them, by building international independent networks of journalists and writers, and by setting up alternative news agencies or socially-aware media companies.
