DO MINING ACTIVITIES CAUSES MORE HARM TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN ILLEGAL MINING?
Well,lm very sure you may be confused about such issue,but don't be because,mining as known
is seen as the legal way of extracting minerals which includes,gold,diamond,bauxite and even oil from the ground,either in rivers,around river banks and the environment as well.
Mining activities as seen in the above picture, causes a lot of harm to the environment as illegal mining does.This is because most of the minerals are found in rivers and its environs,and as a result,the mining companies do blast the the river environs to get access to the targeted minerals,without caring about the effects and dangers it may have on trees,birds,animals,and even individuals in the various mining communities.
Sometimes the release of toxic substances into the rivers,causes a lot of diseases to many people,especially those who fish from it.
Deforestation,also includes the damages mining causes to the environment.Its involves the clearing of the forest leading to cutting down of trees,to enable the miners accomplish their mission,of extracting minerals.
Therefore,it is no doubt that,mining activities indeed causes a lot of damages not only to the environment,but individuals as well.
At this point,do you agree to the fact that,both mining activities and illegal mininig causes harm to the environment?Have your say.

IS CITIZEN JOURNALISM A THREAT OR CHALLENGE TO PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM?
As a journalism student,i don't agree to the fact that,citizen journalism is a threat to professional journalism.This is because, a professional journalist undergoes training before carrying out his or duty, which includes gathering of information for any media organisation,while,Citizen journalist do not.
Also,professional journalist have access to sources, facilities, and informations that citizen journalist generally do not.With this they normally bring out factual informations to the view of the public,without being bias,or taking sides.They report issues exactly as they are and as a results,are guided by various journalistic principles,that Citizen journalist have no idea of or knows nothing about.
I therefore see Citizen journalism as not a threat to professional journalism because,their existence is rather throwing a more challenge on the professionals to improve upon their skills and make use of the available resources profitably,knowing well that,integrity is the key to good journalism.
DO YOU AGREE TO THAT?
