“Menjadi wartawan yang netral, berarti telah berkontribusi dalam memberikan manfaat untuk khalayak. Saat ada spiral kebisuan di antara mereka yang minoritas karena tertelan pendapat mayoritas, maka tugas wartawan untuk mengangkat fanomena itu. Wartawanlah yang membingkai suatu kondisi masyarakat yang tidak tersuarakan, menjadi lebih terdengar.” JournalistSocial ResponsibilityPressNeutralSocial Responsibility PressPersSpiral KebisuanSpiral Of SilenceTanggung Jawab Sosial Book:Mata Pena Source: Mata Pena
“But something very bad happened to the news media in the 1980s. Part of it was the 'public diplomacy' pressures from the outside. But part of it was the smug, snotty, sophomoric crowd that came to dominate the national media from the inside.

By the 1990s, the media had become the monster.” RealityTruthMediaNewsCorruptionNewspapersJournalismSocial CommentarySocial Responsibility Press Author:Gary Webb, Dark Alliance
