Inquirer Journalist Jaymee Gamil reacted to the #LeniLeaks issue revealed by Thinking Pinoy and Sass Rogansdo Sasot.
Gamil called the emails ‘bullshit’ and she said it won’t prosper unless the Duterte supporters will do a press conference and filed a complaint so the mainstream media can notice it.
She said they need a talking heads and not just an online statements.
Read her post:
This is why bullshit like LeniLeaks won’t prosper. Because online intrigue don’t translate well to formal complaints in official fora. Don’t agree? Then go ahead and try filing a legal complaint (for treason, was it?) based on supposed screenshots of a defunct Yahoo!Group, captured and circulated on Facebook by someone in Europe. If you do that, I promise you the Philippine media will cover that, too. Like it did this story.
She even shared a secret of what she called “pro reporter” like her, that they just needed someone who can call a press conference about the allegations so that mainstream media can cover the issue.
Pro-tip: Don’t bully the media into covering you. If you’re not ready to file a complaint, try calling a press conference for your allegations. Most of the time, we just need talking heads. Actual people, not online or distant phantoms, willing to take responsibility for their statements.
Moreover, Political Science professor in De La Salle University, Dr. Antonio Contreras hits back Jaymee Gamil for criticizing the veracity of the emails.
He said these journalist are still living in the dark ages, that’s why their Facebook engagement was left behind.
He cited that media should cover all stories that are legit, especially the hot controversies about the LeniLeaks.
Also, Contreras complained that it was even better that those family of the drug suspect or rapist got an exclusive interview.
Dr. Contreras slammed the yellow journalist, he said:
Hinahabol ninyo dapat ang balita, at hindi ang balita ang humahabol sa inyo.
Katamaran yang ginagawa ninyo. O baka naman nasanay na kayo na yung mga PR ng mga pulitiko ang lumalapit sa inyo na may dalang pamasko o pondo.
Here’s the full text of Dr. Contreras:
Oh, so traditional media still need talking heads?
To traditional media, if you don’t think social media people are legit sources of news, then you are still living in the dark ages of journalism. Kaya kayo pinapakain ng alikabok sa engagements.
Anong klaseng school ng journalism pinag-aralan ninyo? Hindi ba dahil may inilabas si Sass at si Thinking Pinoy, hindi ba trabaho ninyo ang hanapin sila, kapanayamin, para sa istorya.
Taena, e yung mga namamatay sa tokhang hindi naman yan nagpapainterview. Yung mga nagagahasa ng adik, hindi naman nagpapapress-conference ang pamilya niyan. Pero dahi balita, kahit saan lupalop pa ng mundo hinahanap ninyo maka-exclusive lang kayo. At ang gaganda pa ng mga kuha ninyong pictures. Pang-award.
Kaya kayo napag-iiwanan. Masyado kayong so full of yourselves. Hinahabol ninyo dapat ang balita, at hindi ang balita ang humahabol sa inyo.
Katamaran yang ginagawa ninyo. O baka naman nasanay na kayo na yung mga PR ng mga pulitiko ang lumalapit sa inyo na may dalang pamasko o pondo.
