Seemingly this media irresponsibility will not end. Sample this by one Kepher Otieno in today's EA Standards online edition;

.........the ALS Dash 8 flight was developed in the late 1970s due to increased market demand for a new generation 30-to 40-seater commuter airline.

.........If a passenger pays Sh4,200 for fare,the tax is Sh2,000,almost double the ticket cost.

In yesterday's Nation,someone was trying to calculate the loss occasioned by traffic jams in Nairobi. The guy actually indicated that 'the idle engine of an ordinary car consumes 5 litres of fuel every hour'.

I am also irritated by this irresponsible reporting exhibited by our journalists. Misspelt statements,blowing things out of proportion,alarmist quotes,errors albeit corrections.......Check in last weeks Standard papers how many errors were regretted!! That surprises me.

I thought for one to qualify as a journalist,the bare minimum qualification you should possess is to know how to dot the (i's) and cross the (t's).

Shame on your profession!!

And by the way is journalism really a profession???

Do not blame the Journalist. There is no pay and no money in the industry. Newspapers worldwide are folding. Media mogul Murdoch has said good Journalism is expensive and he plans to charge for his newspapers online content. He has seen his empire suffer from competition from the internet where news is free. You have to hire top brains to write articles and they do not come cheap.

If you think what you are seeing is trash,wait for a few years to come.
