A Macedonian journalist was beaten while walking to his car recently in Macedonia. The police say they want to solve this issue quickly, but it sad that people, whose desire it is to educate the public and spread the news, can not be safe. They should be respected. In Macedonia especially, journalists can only help the public. A country can not grow if they wish to suppress the media or keep secrets from their people. It prohibits growth, because the people don’t trust the government, and they don’t trust each other. They fear their lives, instead of enjoy them.
Macedonia’s Journalist Association has seriously condemned the violence toward the journalist. How would you feel if you couldn’t report the news truthfully without being assaulted in your country? What about teachers? in developing countries, journalists are almost in a teaching position, because they educate the public. How would it be if teachers were assaulted for doing their job.
