"The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch"

- Corazon Aquino

About this Quote

In this quote, former Philippine President Corazon Aquino highlights the fragile nature of the media's power. She suggests that the media's impact and reach are dependent on the assistance of the people. Without their support, the media's power can quickly be removed, much like switching off a light switch. This statement stresses the significance of the people's role in shaping the media landscape and the requirement for a strong and united public to guarantee the media's continued impact. It likewise functions as a reminder that the media's power is not outright and can be managed by those in positions of authority.
