THE FORMATION of the Center for Media Freedom and Re-sponsibility (CMFR) addresses one of the critical concerns confronting the Philippines after People Power toppled the Marcos dictatorship in February 1986. That concern calls at-tention to the power of media and the role of the free press in the development of Philippine democracy.
All over the world, press freedom has been found to be essential to the democratic system. Effective participatory government is possible only when it can count on a well-informed society where individuals freely ex-change ideas, where public debate and discussion arise from knowledge and understanding of national affairs.
That freedom involves not only media professionals but also the pub-lic served by the media—public officials, the private sector, civil society groups, readers, viewers, and listeners—who receive information and are part of the cycle of public communication. But freedom of the press, like all liberties, has its limits, for the simple reason that it is vulnerable to abuse.
Democratic recovery confronts serious obstacles on the media front. The press and the media need to exert special efforts to measure up as a collec-tive vehicle of information, as an instrument for clarifying complex issues and dilemmas of development that the public should understand.
Against this background, CMFR was organized in 1989 as a private, non-stock, non-profit organization involving the different sectors of society. Its programs uphold press freedom, promote public journalism, and ecourage journalistic excellence.
