"oneway" forgotten journalsim

The media is supposed to represent the voice of the people, those who are in the upper class and those who are marginalised.
well, upto now, the media in kenya and East Africa is doing that relatively well but not in the expected way.
It is like giving a half bottle of water to a drought stricken individual with promises to give more after a few hours only to dissapear forever.
Let me make an example out of my statement, the case concerning Tom Cholemondely,the media did a huge task to keep the public informed on the new things and new findings made in the case upto the last moment when the guy was released from jail. Kudos!! Now what then?? i know many are asking themselves that what is there to report any more?? Of what relevance??
When we talk of dinity, we say the media nowadys treat human beings more like objects of sympathy than those who have even a brief sense of belonging and dignity, and I TOTALLY agree!!
How do we know that Tom is keeping to his promise of taking care of the late Njoya's family, education needs and other agreed terms!!
How are we supposed to know if the media does not do a follow up on such a case?
Take a look at the case concerning the self-confessed serial killers, after all the drama shown television, what is going on now?? Nothing!! instead we keep on following politicians day and night as they lead and mislead kenyans on the constitution, giving them onormous airtime on Tv as they repeat things they said yesterday than the amount of airtime given to victims of hunger, crime and other disater like problems.
When Mps decided to increase their salries, the media swung into parliament sending many reporters dayin day out do the same thing, forgetting all the other issues affecting the country at large. It is af if the cardinal rule of journalistic reporting is that once something new comes up it is a crime to focus on the other issues, thus they are left pending never to be touched on again, unless another serious "juicy" deatil swings into being.
There are so many people who crave to know more on most on a a most stories than less on very many stories. I think it is time to take up responsibility and accountability to a higher level.
