Quote “The Kris Aquino-James Yap-Hope issue in the ‘News’
Quote “Kris-James-Hope controversy extended beyond People’s Journal’s entertainment pages.
Quote “There’s a short article in People’s Journal today (Feb.27) written by Ryan Ponce Pacpaco entitled “Be strong, pray, Kris told” (The English version of this article was published in People’s Journal, but there’s a Tagalog version available in their website at http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php?issue=2007-02-27&sec=4&aid=10733).
Quote “The article appeared in page 6, which is devoted to News. It was all about Tessie Aquino-Oreta’s advice to Kris. Everyone knows that Tessie Aquino-Oreta is Kris’ aunt who is now running for Senator under the Team Unity.
Quote “Undoubtedly, People’s Journal committed an ethical violation here. Yes, the report has the human interest in it. But it doesn’t have the news value, so why put it under a part in the newspaper which is just for News? If you read the entire article all you can see is the aunt-to-niece pieces of advice and information about Kris Aquino and James Yap. I mean, if Oreta gave Kris an advice, it isn’t news, it’s normal. But to publish stories like this isn’t supposed to be normal for a journalist.
Quote “If People’s Journal really wanted to report about this story, they should just use the spaces provided in their entertainment section. After all, there are so many news and issues more important than two celebrities and a third party.” unquote
