The media has always played a central part in our lives. Freedom of speech is a crucial liberty that we enjoy in this country and one we must guard. But now more than ever, with the advent of 24-hour news, it is more important for the media to deliver news in a responsible and balanced manner that accurately reports stories without resorting to generalisation or scapegoating entire communities.
