Journalism practice hinges on an exhibition of great deal of boldeness.To nose around, make a scoop, interview people and report the news or publish an investigative piece on an issues.

This confidence is ‘typifically' projected as the sword is usually considered to be a mighty weapon.

The christened 'forth estate of the realm' does not occupy an elective position that should be subjected to a process of political activities and election.The executive would, the legislature will and the judiciary, definitely, but not journalism activities.

Journalism does not be-labour itself with particism in a competitive politcal race to take over the mantle of leadership of the state.

It just watches over the functions of the other arms of government and the society.Where democratic government subsists, the press' functions more agressively as in other regime, facing the arising problem, such task generates and demands.

But the challenge and threat to life of the journalist is enormous where the type of government is a tyrannical one.That is where the freedom of the press becomes an issue and the need for the public to get adequately informed becomes a challenge.But journalism will continue to thrive.
