Criticism is similar to that in 2007 and 2019 when public officials also wondered why there was more bad news than good news or even why the bad news was reported at all. Reporting on media walkout was as sparse as the reactions to the incident.ACTING MAYOR'S COMPLAINT. The local news media reported the mayor's complaint, as reflected in their headlines: July 12, SunStar -- 'Garcia slams media as 'unfair' in Palarong Pambansa coverage.
Garcia's complaint related to matters other than falsehood of the story, such as: the coordination and hard work the multiple agencies were doing; the organizers and the agencies working with them are 'not perfect' and everybody should realize that, including media; that event managers acted promptly on any disruption of service although Garcia said that if a water tank would run empty, the refill wouldn't miraculously appear at once.
Does the mayor, as any other public official or news personality, have the right to complain about the product that is the news, not just as consumer but as a party to the production, Garcia being a major news source?The issue is apparently not over right to complain but on how he did it.What could be a reminder from a 'visibly angry' public official who was complaining about the reporting could be, and must have been, seen as a scolding of the reporters.
From various accounts, the public can see that A.M. Garcia was complaining and letting out steam. Some journalists, used to such gripes from news sources, didn't mind.Others obviously minded and resented: it's media's job, they said, and nobody tells media how to do their job except their editors and other media bosses. Right? Not quite because journalists need to listen to their public, which includes news sources.
