Journalist Villager

Sometimes I feel villagers make better journalists. Though technology and facilities favor city guys more, the element of observation is more with so called ‘country fellows’. It’s the same idea that coined the term ‘global village’ where the world ultimately survives as a village in which each and every bit of information is shared. Whenever a stranger enters their place, villagers are keen to collect news about that person. It may include who he is, where is his native, when did he come, why he came, what is his history and how did he come… Is it what makes the 5 Ws and 1 H in journalism? Also the keenness of observation is more perfect in villagers than those who are settled in cities who live in their own world even without knowing their neighbors.

  2. definitely a kind of mass questioning the villagers do. lack of such questioning is the real cause of the insecurity we now experience even in villages
