Media can prevent Genocide! - Media have to do the right thing!

Genocide is not happen abruptly.
In Rwanda's case, it started colonization by Belgium .
But the dictatorial goverment made it deeper the gap in the 2 tribes for a long time.

It may be so different from what we expect, media is not take a neutral attitude.
RTLM(Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines) and Kangura paper had changed the way people think, implanted hatred.
They called Tutsi as a "cockroach", and they even made a list to kill.
There might be no genocide in Rwanda, if there's a accurate and balanced report.
Media is double-edged sword.

I was much surprised at a few news in Korea's media about the Mindanao event.
Man Hee Lee is middle of 80's. In spite of his age, he ran into Mindanao in philippines.
And he made a speech about the importance of peace in front of 2 religious groups and university students. And he ended the conflict, which lasted 40 years.
This is no small thing!
Media support that activity by delivering the news to the world wide.
In doing so, the news can make the people who signed the peace agreement keep their promise.
Then, it will guard the life of youth from the war.
