Barriers of Communication
Communication barriers might be seen throughout the reporting process, there is a lot that goes
into becoming a reporter, and being prepared is essential. Not being prepared enough would be a major
problem since it would make them appear less legitimate, and the story may eventually be completely
different. Along side the political issues will come into factor, for example, when the government
intervenes to conceal facts because they affect them, It may be seen that SL reporters were unable to
reveal everything they knew because the government had not approved some details. Because Sri Lanka
is famed for its natural beauty and marine life, the government would not be comfortable with a wreck
putting many marine lives in danger being publicized.
Further since it was a bug case and international matters were at stake people that are witness
may not have had the liberty to speak about it before any court/police action had taken place. Prior to
the factor mentioned above Politics do have a level of influence on the news being shared on to the
global perspective, the political parties can intervene over the actual news content. It is anticipated that
the affected country’s stability would be viewed by other nations depending on the news received, so
the political parties may be aware of the consequences that can happen right after other nations’ view
for instance on the basis of future projects and investment plans expected to take place in Sri Lanka,
such as initiatives involving marine life, the environmental concerns that Sri Lanka is currently facing
may have an impact on future foreign investments. As a result, political parties can interpret actual
news, which can lead to misunderstandings.
