Hi Peggy It is extremely important. We are having a group of journalists, from conflicting parts of Israely society, who have a monthly meeting, over a year. The theme is the responsibility of the press in reducing the playing/using of extreme emotions. It is useful if the editors and the owners of the newspapers participate in the these kind of dialogues, in order to try abd balance considerations of profitability and ethics.
