Jakarta
(ANTARA News) - Media observer Parni Hadi called on people working in the media
industry to implement prophetic journalism based on the Prophet Muhammad`s
behavior.
"Muhammad
was always honest in his words and also wise and responsible in doing his
duties as a leader. In his da`wah he always combines words and deeds, he always
does what he preaches," Parni said here on Wednesday at the 2nd
International Conference on Islamic Media.
Parni said
Muslim journalists needed to actuate prophetic journalism by means of
practicing the four excellent traits of the Prophet Muhammad, namely siddiq
(revealing the truth), Tabligh (disseminating truth in educative ways), Amanah
(reliable) and Fathonah (wise).
"By
reflecting the Prophet`s four character traits, journalists and content
providers will show dignity, devotion, tolerance, mutual understanding, mutual
respect, non violence and tender loving care in their reports, features and
commentaries," Parni said.
However,
Parni said prophetic journalism would be most effective if conditions such as
freedom of expression, independence, justice and global peace prevailed.
The 2nd
International Conference on Islamic Media was opened last December 12 and runs
until Dec 16. The event is participated in by 400 people comprising media
practitioners, academics, communication experts and media representatives from
40 countries.
