(0) that are the functions and responsiblities

the newspaper, radio and television. Describe the present stare of development of these thra. media of communication in Hong Kong.

Among the most important institutions in an organized civilized society are the "newspaper, radio and television for they

Future generat ons can also draw parallel problems their comparison of their problems with ours. The importance of a these media Communication can be seen from the functions which they fulfil, which Are fundamentally three.

The first vital function is to keep the public accurately informed of what is, and has been, going on in the community. This function can eliminate any unwarrante misunderstanding between citizens and, nore significant, between the people and the Government.

Recently one has probably heard of the existence of the "information gap between Government and the people. The Commission of Inquiry into Kowloon riots (that took place in April, 1966) in its report has pointed out that the press in particular can close this "gap"avery effectively, not that logal newspapers are not exercising this function efficiently, way that they can do manh, more than what they are presently doing.*

Preas.

The Governanat înxorgia vaun DORVLGDE LAS also the responsibility of releasing Government information to newspapers radio and television so that through then the public can understand what Government policies are and the work that is now being done in our community, There are many instances where the public cak derive a wealth of information from

reading a newspaper, listening to a radio or watching television. Feature writers are often commissioned by a news paper to write articles of topical and human. interest. Interviews of celebrities and state dignitaries are often broadcast ove the radio or television. (vii) The next vital function is to guide the

public in the way they think and the way they resot and respond to current events and situations, à classic example of the -way this function is fulfilled is found in the editorial, which is a column that appears in every issue of a newspaper, and which is written by a senior and more experienced journalist, normally tha editor or his associatan. (viii) The editorial usually runs a commentary,

on current developments of important ́ situations, and provides interpretationi of news so that readers can be qui okay ́ ́aoquainted with what has been happening

in the background, After reading the editorial, one usually suerges as a more, intelligent parson, as he can now use

the editorial to assist bẩn to form him own decisions or conclusions of importan community or national issues, (13) The great number of advertisements in a

newspaper or radio or television ¿ programme are our next source of guidance7 We can deodde what va intend to buy after" going through thong advertisements, of our desired products.. Advertisers are there~/ fors bound by law to publish days about their products vithout falsification of any sort.
