It allowed her to <em>meet new people,<\/em> have the ability to <em>share their stories<\/em>, while also <em>cutting down barriers of networking<\/em> through the access she now had. She presents anecdotes of her learning curve in the radio world, as she worked towards<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cturning the monologue into a dialogue\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and overcoming doubts regarding their engagement. She also talked about the importance of remembering who lies at the receiving end, because \u201c<em>you\u2019re also there for the listeners<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ethics of Navigating the Digital World<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is these <em>experiences<\/em> and <em>considerations<\/em> that allow her to delve into a discussion regarding handling of information, ethics and security. She highlights how the internet is an <strong>open space<\/strong>, and so \u201ceveryone has space to share their opinions, and to share their voices\u201d. This is why it becomes important to disseminate <strong>credible news<\/strong>, grounded in <strong>authentic sources.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, the delivery of the information must also be considered. For instance, she talks about\u00a0<em>sensationalisation<\/em> of news by the Pakistani media. The need for<em> empathy media training<\/em> is quite urgent in the status quo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the receiver, they must also develop critical thinking skills while intaking the content delivered. They should \u201chave critical knowledge and skills to figure out on your own what is fake news\u201d. Moreover, due to the openness of the online world, <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there needs to be an exercise in patience and tolerance in regards to differing perspectives.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Choices in the Digital World: Why are we here?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a debate regarding what exactly the audience wants. Is it <strong>credible information<\/strong> they require, or<strong> mindless entertainment<\/strong>? If it is the latter, the consideration of ethics goes out of the window. However a balance can be struck, whereby even if the audience \u201c<em>want the fluff<\/em>\u201d, they are still able to critically engage with the content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to remember why we joined social media in the first place. Constantly questioning it, and ensuring that it is still relevant would contribute to a healthy usage. For it is<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cgreat that you have that freedom, but even that freedom needs to be governed by ethics\u201d.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This freedom can also result in <em>breach of privacy<\/em> and security of users- hence must be regulated in some manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This particularly applies to pictures that one chooses to post. However, in the case that there is a breach, <strong>Ms. Yumna<\/strong> talks of the importance of being aware of <strong>harassment laws<\/strong> in Pakistan in regards to <a href=\"http:\/\/complaint.fia.gov.pk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cyber bullying<\/a>.
