Ban the media from reporting irresponsibly on coronavirus
Ban the media from reporting irresponsibly on coronavirus

I believe that during a pandemic the media should be sanctioned for reporting irresponsibly on the crisis and causing fear and anxiety unnecessarily.
Media outlets have a responsibility to not create additional hysteria which can lead to consequences mentally, physically, emotionally and economically.
I believe they should be sanctioned, fined or reprimanded in a way the government see’s fit for reporting irresponsibly.
The media have a rhyme responsibility to put across the correct information during a crisis in which we face as a country (and the world) in the form of coronavirus.
People are already struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, fear for themselves and their loved ones, business owners fear for their livelihoods and also hold the added fear of the responsibility of staff members livelihoods and safety.
The media can very easily spread a disease far worse and with far greater impact than the coronavirus and they should be stopped.
