    The document summarizes challenges facing Amhara Mass Media Agency television news. It established in 1986 with the goal of promoting development, peace, and democratization. However, the news often lacks balance and neutrality, instead promoting government actions. As the media is controlled by the government, there is no investigative journalism of wrongdoing by higher officials due to self-censorship from government influence. Scholars argue freedom of the press is jeopardized by rules that allow government control. Recommendations include improving laws to increase independence and reducing fear of journalists to provide proper oversight of government works.

    promotion of development,
    sustainable peace, and
    democratization.
    Do you know remember this pictures ?
    Con’t
    All this rumors transmitted by face
    book ,after Amhara television produce
    one news .
    The news did not fulfill at least the
    basic
    The basic news values .
    It is not balance
    In order to timeliness of the news the
    news is late .
    Finally the news missed neutrality
    There were a complain about this news
    and it was correct.
    Why all this professional faller
    occurs ?

    Because the media controlled by the


    higher officials so far it is not free and
    independent media .
    Major Challenges in Amhara Mass
    Media TV news

     

    The Government press largely praises and


    promotes the Government, and Amhara mass
    media television news, before the new prime
    minster Abiye Ahmed and after D/r Abiye
    Ahmed this medium work in order to respect
    and appreciate the government doing most of
    the time.
    
     the news are not balanced and neutral
    the news holds meaning of promoting
    government action.

     The media controlled by the


    government, no journalistic work that
    investigates and presents government
    higher officials wrong doing.
    Con ’t
     The journalist responsibility was not more
    than copy paste press release, panel
    discussion and so on, because they
    exposed to self-censorship because of
    government influence.
     Government control the media work
    through different rules and regulations,
    this rules and regulations jeopardize
    freedom of the press. Different scholars
    define what freedom of the press is and
    how freedoms of the press jeopardize.
    Recommendation

    Laws that banned freedom of the press should be
    improved or changed including media in-house
    regulations and editorial polices specially in
    government media.

     Media practitioners should not be shy and


    frustrated to check and balance government
    works.
     “A fearless and effective watchdog is critical in
    fledgling democracies where institutions are weak
    and pummeled by political pressure.”
    (CORONEL)p.5
    .
    Con ’t
     The media should be independent from any
    influence of the higher officials.
     Many scholars agree on this statement for
    instance coral agree on this idea:-‘the
    media are often left as the only check
    against the abuse of power’ (CORONEL)
    p.5

     Unless and otherwise the profession could


    not play its responsibility as watchdog
    role, fourth organ of government
    End
