Truth is the platinum standard by which journalists are judged. When a reporter says that there is a ban on English language in a NW court and there is in fact a ban on English language in the said regional court, then the reporter has told the truth; otherwise, the report is false.
The report from the Cameroon Daily Journal regarding the purported ban placed on English in the Bamenda-based court is a lie and self promoting message from that paper and its owner. The advent of electronic journalism has not only improved the speed at which news is reported, but journalism itself suffers as a result of this important channel of communication.
Someone can just sit in his house in Buea and decide to create some sensationalism to increase traffic to his online news site. This misinformation and disinformation is a threat to journalism as a profession. This sale of commercialized lies and dramatic sensationalism of falsehood for personal gain should be condemned with the contempt that it deserves.
Cameroonians should watch out for this kind of yellow journalism, which is nothing but a sensationalistic and marketable fiction. While it is not bad for a journalist to distinguish himself and uplift the profile of his news channel, to do so at the expense of the truth confuses the reader and breaks all media ethics.
