CITY ISLAND LIVE - OPEN JOURNALISM: GET INVOLVED

Submitted by ub on

Remember those days when newspapers came out once a month, except in few big cities in which they were weekly, and written communication was done by telegraph. Radio dominated the world of news, sports and entertainment, but only in big cities, until the time of shortwave radio arrived.

One day, television appeared, but to be seen only in the very large cities. On Saturday evenings, the furniture companies used to leave the television on inside their windows, while hundreds of people would come and surround the store to watch TV.

The head of United Nations peacekeeping operations is calling on all parties in Syria to ensure the cessation of violence is observed, stressing that recent reports from observers on the ground show that much more needs to be done to maintain a ceasefire in the country.

“It is clearly for the parties to demonstrate the desire to cease all forms of armed violence,” said Under-Secretary-General Hervé Ladsous at a press briefing in New York. “More bombs, more weapons, more violence could only increase the tension and add to an already very considerable toll of human lives.”

City Island Images has some advice for elected officials and public servants everywhere. Pay more attention to individuals and companies operating illegally and show some flexibility to those law abiding citizens and licensed establishments, who are doing the best they can to play by established rules.

Stay alert and be on the look out for those bad people, concentrate your activities and do more investigative work going after anyone and everyone braking our laws, or those operating illegally by including confiscating their vehicles and equipment.
