: I agree with you Peggy. The newspaper and media are not a reliable source. Besides they usually try to condense their stories into sound or print bytes so that it catches the eye of the reader. I do think that the news media and newspaper do serve a valuable purpose by advertising such events as Clinic Fairs which allows the public to attend and receive information.
Jonthan agree with you. Without the media advertising
our health fairs and services the public would not
be aware of the vast sevrices we offer.
