Philippine Daily Inquirer and its Principles

My family has declined from buying newspapers locally for over a year. But every once in a while we buy an issue of STAR or PDI for the local news. I observed how much change the Lifestyle or Entertainment parts had gone through. For one it focused more on high-class fashion meaning: vanity, money, parties. It showed teenagers or people who are in their mid-twenties that being a Socialite is everything in this material world.

PDI's writers like Tim Yap and Tessa Prieto Valdez are one of the first who started the regime of Socialite madness on it's pages. Just open the next issue you'll find interviews with questions filled with vain principles which ask about possessions or about how much they are wearing.



I think that this kind of media with it's principles influences much on all of us today. We should al thnk of sorting out our priorities in life when reading even the newspaper. Parties and social gatherings aren't the only things in the world. There is a world outside that needs more attention than what everyone else wearing.
