What will be an ideal response?
The phrase means journalists should allow people with all different views to speak on a story, even if those people are not wealthy, popular or successful. Diversity isn’t simply an issue of race, culture or creed, but one that involves the ability to provide a wide array of people the opportunity to speak on issues of importance. Journalists have the ability to focus attention on issues and provoke public reaction. This important responsibility carries with it the understanding that all people should have equal access to the media’s power to alert the public about crucial issues.
