question:(1) Row does a newspaper servo

the community? What respon ibilities must a newspaper ABOUMO?

AVA newspaper keepa the community ih- Formed of ita development and progress. It brings to the attention of the people the events that are taking place both it home and abroad. The newspaper stri- res to eliminate ignorance by telling. seople not only about things that happen sut also the reasons behind the events. 1 general understanding of topics like· Law, trade, commerce, banking, and insu. ince can thus be easily and readily acq-

ired by the readers.

Providing information on 10081 and world newe is not the only function of -1 newspaper. It is often ragarded as

the "mouthpiece of the public", by which is meant that it is the "spokesman" of

the people and it. can draw the attention

of the B MAZE KURED appropriate author

itian to

that exist in the cou- itry such as poverty, unemployment and juvenile delinguency

It usually enlarges the seriousDON. „r certain community vices such as ille-

galized gambling and drug addiction in ordar that immediate action can be car ried out to stamp out these vices. At times a newspaper may conduct its own: survey and provide interesting statistics to prove certain pointa, so that no doubt is left in the minds of the people cond- sinad.

It has often be remarked, that a ne 18** spaper can serve as a link between the Jovernment and the people. This is, no loubt, true, á nevapapez carries a sect tion-usually known as "News from the Gov- sinment" or "Extracts from the Gazette," which provides information about Govern- sent's, policies, usually proposed bill6 ɔr new ordinances. The Goverment, thro- agh the Information Services Department, isually senda itens of news which affect. the people, to the newspapers so that they in turn can publish the news.

There is another section in the now- spapershich publishes lettern written by the readers. Known as the Correspondence Column, it provides an excellent opport- unity for the public to make known their grievances or complainte. If the GoverA- ment fails to act on the complaints, it is not uncommon to notice that the mat ter is quickly taken up by the Editorial staff of the newspaper. Feature articles presenting the views of prominent citizens will gradually appear in the press............ Thè editorials, too, will take up the matter, thus leaving the Government officials concerned in embarrassment, if proper action continues to be delayed.

Long ago, when an epidemio disease broke out, it took away many innocent. lives without any warning, and took con** siderable time and effort before it could be checked and obliterated.. proday, thr bugh the press the Medical And Health Services Department can issue warnings of the possibility of any outbreak of disease and every citizen is given suf-

ficient time to be immunized or inoculated against any sickness. Campaigns to arouse public awareness about health can thus be effectively carried out by the co-ordinë ated efforts of the newspapera,

"The newspaper can serve the community

in another way. It entertains the readers. This is done by providing feature articles on all sorts of subjects form "How to in- prove one'a complexion" (from the ladies" page) to "How to play football" (from the sporta page). There are also stories (selected from well-know novels) as well as cartoons and comics to cheer every- one up. Biographies of famous personal- ities such as well-known film stars or prominent citizens also appear in the news- paper at regular intervals.

Jokes, quotations and orOBERUSU PUK- →1148 also find their way into the neWE=" paper. There are times when a newspaper Tuns competitions in the from of a quiz" or photography to stimulate interest

Prizes (usually don- among ita rasders. ated by leading commerical firms) are offered as an added attraction. Some times readers may write to a newspaper to ask questions, and some of these ques tions are a source of delight to those who read them. The answers are equally nucouous at times.

Commerical firma have round that

A newspaper is one principal medium of communication through which they can publicise their products, particularly new products. If advertisements can help businessmen to sell their produc...... advertisements can also help conSAEGIS to select and buy goods that suit their requirements. Thus we can say that a newspaper also provides guidance to itu readers.

There are also advertisements of Jobs available to the people. There aust have been hundreds and thousands of people who have used the

guidance to the readers, especially thos who know very little of the "blackground" of certain news itens.

no report news as truthfully as pos sible must be considered as one of the most important responsibilities of any. newspaper, any misleading nawa item is bound to cause unpleasant consequon, ces. Imagine a man being reported as: a original when his innocence is acces pted by everyone. He will noon earn the distrust of everyone including his Frim ends. Although freedom of the press. allows a newspaper to exist without a. government censorship it also implies that a newspaper cannot publish anyth ing falsely or anything de terrent to a person's reputation. In fact, thers is a newspaper law known as the law of libel which ensures that this freedon of the press is never abused,

A newspaper must not bring pubazi ridícule to any person, because this is just as bad as ruining a person reputation. Only when it has been carefully and definitely ascertainsa that a certain story 18 true can a neVE- paper publish the story. Of course, sometimer because of printing errors ib atory is distorted. But in the very next issue, the Editor nornnally apolog izes for the mistakes, and the mistake? are pointed out to the readers.

A newspaper must not be a prejudice institution. It should be impartial to all, otherwise it may arouse and spread enmity among everybody. It should not be anti- either against the governmen or particular group of people, although

it can be critical of the government's policies or those of any groups or org anizations. Constructive, and not dest. ructive, criticisms are good, for they help to shape future evente, Above all, A newspaper must never preach hatred or political antagonism.

Thus, if a newspaper can infor entertain and guide the community with out any resort to dishonesty or fabrica. tion of the truth, it provides one of the best, and yet the cheapest, communa uy services,

Question:-(2) Comment on the problem OZ

juvenile delinquency in Hong Kong, and mention

how it may be tackled.

It has been estimated that one out (or every six criminale in Hong Kong is “a juvenile. Although juvenile delinqu ency is not a problem as serious as it is in other countries, it must not be taken to mean that it cannot develon into a serious one some day.""

It is interesting to note that food entertaincent and impulsiveness are the main causes of juvenile crimes in Hong Kong.

Seventy per cent or juvenile deling uenta commit offences in order to obtain food. These offenders come from; very poor families, and are consequently goaded by hunger into stealing. To them "neces-. sity knows no law" is not truer here than elsewhere. It must be readily seen there- fore, that the standard of living of most people particularly those from the reset- tlement and squatter areas as well as from the overcrowded districts of Hong Kong is shamefully low. The efforts: of the Government and local voluntary agencies should logically be channelled in the direction of provision of food for these people. The U.N.I.C.E.F. has done remarkable work in this field, but it concentrates on children. Perhapa we need a United Nations International Youth's Emergency Fund to look after our youths who come from very poor Tamilies.

Lack of entertainment and recreat tons for young people has forced many to get money by committing crimes, so that they too can be entertained like. young people from well-to-do families. When the Urban Council last year intro- duced "Pop-In" concerta at Blake Fier: and at the City Hall and other public places, many people especially Kaifong leadere strongly objected to these con- aerts purely on the orstical and super- ficial reasons. By Government wisely: paid no attention to public criticiens. ind it is indeed enlightening to hear that the post of Youth Recreation Officwi

ithin the Urban Council has been retainer indefinitely; It is equally enlightening to be informed of the newly-appointed Y.R, officer's intention, to stage "mini-tatoop" For Hong Kong's youths,“

Various youth clubs an nong nongi ɔutstanding among which are the Federat- Lon of Youth Groups, Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Joint Kaifong Youth Research Council, have been greatly involved in youth work. So are the civic organiza- tions such as the Lions International, the Rotary Club, the Round Table and not forgetting the Hong Kong Jayonse. But

much, much more pas to në venë zor the underprivileged youths of Hong Kong.

If we do not provide them entertainment they will commit crimes from petty teal- ing to robbery, to get the money to enjoy

themselves That HD SKOLFOI entertain ment has constituted an important cause of our juvenile crimes is shown by the fact that 2 out of 5 juvenile offendera commit crimes for this reason. Female juvenile delinquents are juny us oftan in the news as their male counter- parts. It has been estimated that 70% or those young people who break the law are prostitutes. It is indeed a tragedy to see young girls being forced to dia- honour themselves, Hany of these girls sre forced to work for "triad" societies. But there are those who prefer to leave a decent job for better pay o or as more commonly referred to an "easy money." We say that when girle take up prositu tion it is a tragedy, because apart from ruining their reputation, they also ruin their health and those of others.

Great supervision or notorious paunu uch as boarding houses, dancing halls and ballrooms by the Juyanila Liaison Section of the Police can help to preven). the spread of prostitution in Hong Kong. An Urban Councillor has recently suggba- ted that Government should legalize pros- titution as done in some European count-

iegs In this way, among other things 11 licensed prostitutes can be radically ihecked from time to time and social dis-: jases can be prevented from spreading.

But those who strongly believe tha Prostitution can be wiped out, object to the legalisation of prostitution, on the ground that it may encourage more girls to enter the profession,
