A warning ahead

Lê Vinh |

We have daily weather forecasts but the accompanying warnings do not seem to be strong enough.

In recent days, sad news has continuously covered the newspapers and social networks. From the passing of Mr. Hoang Nam Tien - a kind and aspirational man, to the heartbreaking incident of referee Tran Dinh Thinh while checking and training before the season, and a series of tragic drowning incidents that took the lives of too innocent children. Somewhere, many other stories are also full of loss and regret.

As a habit, a process, after information suddenly appears, there is an overwhelming pity, then the stories, the personal aspects of famous people that have just passed away are exploited... After a few days, the emotions calm down, we find the real causes of pain - most of which are "nothing random".

And people see a series of advice articles: must practice health, must provide proper first aid, must teach children survival skills, must be this or that, must not be subjective... But, everything is just "going behind" the pain. When tears have fallen, no matter how good the warning is, it becomes late. Then sometimes I forget, until the next pain...

It sounds harsh, but his mistake and subjectivity are also a lesson for those who stay behind, a lesson for the press and the media. Should we change the way we do things? Instead of just giving weather forecasts, perhaps it is time to need an accompanying daily "risk forecast"? To give specific and detailed warnings, linked to real life. Not only is it information about "hot weather, thunderstorms", but it is a reminder about the risk of drowning at spontaneous entertainment areas, a warning of stroke in the hot weather, a reminder for people playing sports in harsh conditions...

In particular, subjectivity, or thinking "a little more effortlessly" in conditions that the body does not allow - one only knows one's health - is something that needs to change in each person.

Therefore, information at the right time, enough to be effective, can save someone. The human network could not wait for the media to tell it with sentences of condolences, with the feeling of writing... plagiarism. Journalism and media need to become a companion, even a step ahead, not behind the pain.
